There was a Crooked Man

Author: Gavin Bishop

Illustrator: Gavin Bishop

$17.99 Boardbook

Gavin Bishop illustrates an old English rhyme in a vertical board book for very young children.

There was a crooked man
who walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
upon a crooked stile.
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse.
And they all lived together
in a little crooked house.
