description: 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 womanwho lived in a shoe.She had so many childrenshe didn't know what to do.She gave them some brothwithout any breadThen took them to livein 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!
