MOTHER HUBBARD, as we all know, had a cupboard which she found bare on one occasion. Well, this is Mother Hubbard’s Picture Book, and it’s rather bearish, too, for there are no less than THREE BEARS therein. But you must not suppose that the book is altogether bear, because there are other things in it. There’s Apple pie, for instance to my certain knowledge, and “victuals and drink” of sorts, as well—but I must not let the cat out of the bag (or the cupboard) all at once—besides Mother Hubbard’s clever dog is still feeding it, for his day (in spite of muzzles) is not over yet, and he is up to all his old tricks
