This version of Brown's original nursery rhyme is bigger and glossier, with two full-color paintings for each stanza. The roots of the rhyme lie in Mother Goose's "Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?" but from here Brown asks the question of a mole, a toad, a horse, and other animals. Quirky details in the complex pictures will give children lots to return to.
