The characters from four nursery rhymes, 'Old King Cole', 'Ride a Cock Horse', 'Ding Dong Bell' and 'Hey' Diddle Diddle', get tegether in this romp of a book. Old King Cole loses his fiddlers three to the fine lady on a white horse and is anything but merry with the antics of the cat and his fiddle or the little dog. It's this pair, though, who unscramble things and restore the king's good humour. Children will need to be familiar with the traditional rhymes to get full enjoyment from this large format paperback.
