Summary "Old Mother Hubbard and Her Dog" by Unknown is a whimsical children's poem likely written in the early 19th century. This playful work falls under the category of children's literature and showcases the humorous and imaginative adventures of an old woman and her dog. The poem's theme revolves around the bond between the two characters and the comedic situations that arise from a series of whimsical trips. The poem begins with Old Mother Hubbard going to the cupboard to fetch her dog a bone, only to find it empty. As she runs various errands, the dog engages in increasingly absurd antics, such as standing on his head and riding a goat. Each visit to different shops leads to both humorous and surprising outcomes, culminating in a charming exchange where the dame and her dog acknowledge one another with curtseys and bows. Overall, the poem captures the enchantment of a playful world where animals behave like humans and highlights the whimsical relationship between Old Mother Hubbard and her beloved pet.
