Old Mother Hubbard's Dog Learns to Play by John Yeoman

Old Mother Hubbard's Dog is up to no good! Old Mother Hubbard is fed up of her mischievous pup sitting about reading all day, so she suggests that he learn how to play. But then she hears the less than dulcet tones of the flute, the cello, the trombone, the violin and even the bagpipes! What a terrible din! Long-suffering Old Mother Hubbard is besieged by an onslaught of terrible noises! Whatever can she do? This lively and humorous nonsense poem is brilliantly written by John Yeoman and illustrated exuberantly by Quentin Blake.

John Yeoman (1934–2024) was the author of many humorous stories and poems. He read English at Downing College, Cambridge and Education at London University, and taught for many years at the French Lycée in London as head of English. His first children's book, illustrated by Quentin Blake, was published in 1960 and they went on to work together on over 30 titles.

Quentin Blake was the very first Children's Laureate. One of the world's foremost illustrators, he has won numerous awards for both for his books and his services to children's literature. He is most well-known for his wonderful work with Roald Dahl. John Yeoman and Quentin Blake first collaborated on A Drink of Water in 1960 and have been working together ever since.
