The Little Old Lady in the Strawberry Patch

A little PS post for THE LITTLE OLD LADY IN THE STRAWBERRY PATCH, which we read tonight (along with the ubiquitous PRINCESS POPPY AND TWINKLETOES of course).

Lovely, straightforward storytelling. A favourite from my childhood, the final picture of the little old lady falling asleep clutching the largest strawberry (so tired is she after painting all the strawberries in the strawberry patch) is a part of me.

  1. Hello hello
    I LOVED that book as a child too. I was just searching online for it because I'd love my kids to read it too, but alas I cannot find it for less than £622. I know what you mean about the last picture of the little old lady, I used to read it and fall asleep with the last page open.
