Lets have a whimsical challenge this week, it`s getting to that time of year! ...

We`ve been asked to provide illustrations for a childs book of nursery rhymes, to go on the page opposite the rhyme... so your challenge is:-

A picture to illustrate a nursery rhyme

....it doesn`t have to represent the title ...can just be part of the content 

( better put the title in your comments in case it`s specific to your part of the country)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks everyone for joining in the spirit of the challenge ... some really good creations

Stuart... I think I may have to edit yours a bit before putting it in the book .... after all not everyone likes Marmite....

Results:-

1st ..... Jenny Porteous ...really cute shot... I`m sure the kids would love it

2nd..... Redlassie .... well thought out, Marion... &  I`m glad the shipwright came up with the goods in good time...

3rd.... Catweazle ... good composition ... nursery rhymes & fairytales are noted for their horrific content ... cautionary tales!!...

Thanks again everyone, & over to you Jenny
