Description
The Cat and the Fiddle
I was going to just post the illustration, but then I thought, why not look over the shoulder of a child reading a book with my illustration of:
Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
(Nursery Rhyme by Mother Goose)
Teach your Children to read, and watch their imagination soar!

This is so beautiful.
Oh my, what an absolutely adorable for an important message. 35% of our children graduating are functionally illiterate, that is scary. Is it the schools, the parents or society? It is travesty. Beautifully done Dennis
This is really cute. Love how you've captured the joy of reading and you did an awesome job on the book visuals. CC
Hi Dennis - An adorable render. As always my friend you did a great job with this one. Love the great "Ready to pounce" pose and look on the cat. Have seen our cat get like this many times. You really captured a wonderful moment my friend!
Very sweet! Fantastic detailing! Excellent work! (:
Very creative art Dennis ! POV looks great!
Delightful theme Dennis, excellent work!

That butterfly is toast! ; P Excellent image Dennis!! Very faerie tale like!!
This is such a fun filled and delightful creation. I love how you created the pages of the book. Excellent work!!!!
Wow Dennis this is the most wonderful gift of all as I am just able to come online and I get to see this lovely image you created right before the holiday kicks in. Outstanding work Dennis and this my friend is one of my all time favorites.
So adorable. Excellent scene and composition. Splendid work. Bunny
her hair is so natural and beautiful.outstanding idea Dennis
Lovely work Dennis and you have created it at a great angle. Love how you have done the nursery rhyme too. I remember reading this so often to my children.
Very beautiful composition and render. Great job.
And why not Dennis you made very well add. You know it is necessary to put some as much as possible so that our work dominates the hearts of the first glance and hop it feels to attract towards the benefits of contemplation. I like much the amazement of the children. It like is more accentuated prowesses interviews and their eyes scintil of joys to small nothing. Cheer and mile mercies ((5++)) Et pourquoi pas Dennis tu as très bien fait de rajouter . Tu sais il faut en mettre le plus possible pour que notre oeuvre domine les coeurs du premier regard et hop elle se sent attirer vers les bienfaits de la contemplation . J'aime beaucoup l'émerveillement des enfants .Il est comme plus accentué de prouesses entrevues et leurs yeux scintillent de joies à un petit rien . Bravo et mile mercis ((5++))
I always wondered what the Dish and Spoon did together after they ran away...lol. Anyway, excel image Dennis. Very true about our youth reading. It can really open the mind to possibilities that alternatives such as TV and Movies can't begin to touch. I started with "Space Cat" and in my teens it was "Doc Savage" (Kenneth Robeson) and the "Lensman Series" (E.E. Doc Smith) that greatly shaped who I would become. Bravo and have a great Thanksgiving my friend. Dave :^)
hahaha wonderful idea here to show chridren reading wonderful storys and to see a cat ready to jump on the butterfly too
this is wonderful
Amen Dennis. Reading is so important. If you can read you can learn how to do anything! Wonderful image. Instant fave!
