The child looks around in confusion while carrying a pink-and-white striped bowl of food, completely unaware that her small black-and-white puppy is hiding directly behind her apron strings at her feet. Blue-and-white decorative plates line a shelf in the background, while Newton's signature is clearly stamped onto the wooden floorboards on the left. Below the illustration, four lines of the familiar verse printed on highly tactile, linenette paper complete a durable and glare-free design tailored perfectly for a post-war nursery book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.whatnot.com\/listing\/TGlzdGluZ05vZGU6MTQzMDE0MzU1Nw==?srsltid=AfmBOopYvN30INzlRI2aEW6dT5_yxucE_J0wImNldDeaVgMcO4k1qDw3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhitman Publishing Company\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e originally distributed this charming book.
