This popular nursery rhyme, depicted in this image, shows the contrast between the child and a nice, big friendly animal. The cakes referred to in the rhyme aren't shown because they are more like shortbread, however, the three-tiered cake couldn't be resisted. The army of living pots and dishes is a nod to some of the classic illustrators like Arthur Rackham. They would often put an animated pot or clock in the background of an image.
