Summary

If the Shoe Fits


An original take on some favorite nursery rhymes - this is one search for a new house that's bound to be more pleasure than trouble. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn't know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread, Then took them to live in a new home instead. Too messy, too woolly, too noisy, too small. Whether it's Humpty Dumpty's wall or Mother Hubbard's cupboard, the old woman (who once lived in a shoe) and her children (who once lived there, too) just can't seem to find a new home big enough for their growing needs. So where will they turn for a cozy night's rest? The perfect place is only a step away - no moving van required!
