To market, to market, to buy a fat pig,
Home again, home again, jiggety, jig.
To market, to market, to buy a plum bun,
Home again, home again, market is done.

This is a beautifully executed illustration except for…the pig! What were they thinking?
Interesting, I was about to say the same thing! (Before I saw your illustration.) I think they should have made the piggy much cuter… But then again, I am biased 😛
I like the colors and also how things are outlined in the thin line of black. The pig does look odd and kind of depraved, too.
🙂 There are a lot of pictures from the past in which we can see boys riding a pig. I wonder if that is still common somewhere…? Can’t imagine this in real.
Pigs get very big – much bigger than fairy tale pigs and I’m sure boys still ride them (but it isn’t easy)!

One of the best rhymes ever… but I had forgotten the plum bun bit.
