@jonesgarethp Yes, probably, although I'm no expert. Im sure there would have been variations. Its an American campfire song.
@DebzHolland @toppsta @ldlapinski @HachetteKids Consider it done. Just make sure you pack a meat pie, in case you find a hungry T Rex!
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Ksenia Yershova for "Chestnut Grey" (1973), part of an anthology of Afanasiev's Russian Folk Tales. Gorgeous folk-art motifs, & spring-like colours make this a rich & resplendent moment in this lovely tale of a magic horse. Almost Fabergé-like!
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Marjorie Flack for "The Country Bunny & the Little Golden Shoes" by DuBose Heyward (1939). Over 80 years old, this inspiring tale of an Easter Bunny hopeful, with glorious lithographic illustrations, is as fresh & joyous as ever. HAPPY EASTER ALL!

#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Alice and Martin Provensen for "The Provensen Book of Fairy Tales" (1971). Rich, curious, bold dramatic and haunting illustrations fill this collection of unusual, literary fairy tales. This is for Arthur Rackham's retelling of Beauty & the Beast.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Tove Jansson for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (Lewis Carroll, 1966). Carroll's surreal & bizarre world was an ideal match for the creator of the Moomins. This is my favourite edition of this perennial, dazzlingly, brilliantly, illustrated.
#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is this charmingly fresh and sensitive watercolour by @TiphanieBeeke for "Fletcher and the Caterpillar" by @RawlinsonJulia and published by @graffeg_books TODAY!
Many congratulations on a lovely Springtime book!
