The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe


Below is a fun transformation of the poem - this version by Beatrix Potter
conjured gentler imagery for the traditional poem.

"Remember the Old Woman who lived in a shoe?
And had so many children she didn’t know what to do?”
“I think if she lived in a little shoe-house ~
that little old woman was surely a mouse”

Seek and Find
There are 40 ‘m & m’ candies hidden in and around the shoe-house.

Available as matted print.
