im really liking these nursery rhyme's... can u do the one ( ring around the roses )

sure.

Nicely done, Telly! I love your series. Can't wait for more!

For some reason the pumpkin seems orange to me- maybe the power of suggestion?!? I like the curly vine, and the poor wife in the window. Thanks!

Love it, and it looks as if the pumkin is smiling :)

minnie me too hadn't even thought about it - its just orange lol.

Jane can you do the one with the old man who lived in a shoe (if thats not just something my mind made up)

sure...but I believe it was an old woman who lived in a shoe...I can't get to it today but maybe tomorrow. Thanks for all the great feedback...I think the red looks orangish too. lol.

I'm enjoying these :)

Me too. I can't wait to see how many come out, and hopefully SOON! (I hope you read this Telly, hint hint) :-)

Wonderful pumpkin. I see the smile! Wonderful vine and the wife cracks me up. Great puzzle!

When I finished solving I was asked for solvability. I don't remember this being marked otherwise but I had no trouble using logic to solve this one.

I love this series Telly. Thank you so much for making more!!

Thanks all!

P.S. Nancy, Maybe next(#7) I'll do just b&w, since I know you like those best.

that would be great!

Ah, I skipped your others because they are large with lots of colors! I prefer the B&W too and haven't had time to do more than a few puzzles a week lately. But they're in my saved pile! I will get to them! And looking forward to it, especially after reading all these nice comments.

Ok did it finally! Very nice!

Not to be Debbie Downer or anything, but I think I read somewhere that this nursery rhyme is about spousal abuse.

sad. I think I heard that as a possibility too.

If you think about it, the favorite song that we sing to out babies is Rock-a-bye baby (kind of scary)

Rock-a-bye, baby
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come baby
Cradle and all

very true. Sometimes when I sing that, I change the words to something gentler.

"Rock a bye baby" rhyme reflect Native Indian mothers suspend a birch bark cradle from the branches of a tree. Enabling the wind to rock the cradle and the child to sleep! This rhyme is also known as "Hush a bye baby" which is the correct title.

Fun to solve and delightful illustration of rhythm.
