The day is really rather dull for a little boy in the middle of the country with just Mum and the cat for company. Nothing happens, no one comes by … so he says, anyway. – But the pictures tell a very different story There are the Three Bears and Goldilocks; The Three Little Pigs building their houses; Little Red Riding Hood and a Big Bad Wolf; a witch flying about on a broomstick; Humpty Dumpty climbing up on to a wall; a giant stamping about the countryside; a cat and a fiddle and a cow jumping over the moon. All around the little boy exciting things are happening – but at the end of the day, the little boy yawns and tells his father, Nothing much happened round here today
