Hey Diddle Diddle! The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon; The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon.	Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow, And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go. He followed her to school one day Which was against the rules, Made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school.
	Ding, dong, bell, Pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Tommy Green. Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Stout. What a naughty boy was that,To try to drown poor pussy cat, Who never did him any harm, But killed the mice in father's barn
Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a a merry old soul was he. He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl And he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler had a fiddle, A very fine fiddle had he. Oh there's none so rare as can compare With King Cole and his fiddlers three!	Hot cross buns! hot cross buns ! One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns ! If you have no daughters Give them to your sons; One a penny, two a penny Hot cross buns.

"Hey Diddle Diddle" illustration is by Diz Wallace from a book called Ragged Bear's Nursery Rhymes. Old King Cole is from The Classic Mother Goose; the graphic was done by Robyn Officer. The rest on this page are from A Treasury of Literature for Children illustrated by Hilda Offen. I meant to showcase more artists, but Gustafson doesn't illustrate Mother Goose and my favorite style seems to be whimsical but well detailed illustrations.
