Cleverly chosen traditional nursery rhymes--including "Bonnie Lass, Pretty Lass, Will You Be Mine?" and "Pussycat, Pussycat, Where Have You Been?"--form a story arc about an old-fashioned courtship and wedding between a cat and a dog. The figures (sort of super-idyllic Richard Scarry) look a bit stiff, but humorous details abound, and the storytelling concept offers a fresh perspective on the rhymes.
