This twenty-four page picture book combines the brief stories of those two short traditional rhymes. “Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross” is about the toddlers riding on their cock horses, pretending they have gone to see a beautiful lady go off riding. The second story tells about a farmer trotting on his grey mare with his loving daughter behind him. A crow comes along and frightens the mare, who takes a fall, throwing the farmer and his daughter. The mare injures her knees, the farmer hits his head, and the crow and the townsfolk poke fun at the two.
