Courtship, Marriage, and Pic-nic Dinner of Cock Robin and Jenny Wren. Philadelphia, New York & Baltimore: Turner & Fisher, ca. 1842.
This picture book tells the story of Cock Robin and Jenny Wren but also includes completely unrelated biographies and portraits of the founding fathers. By weaving American history lessons into the pages of a familiar nursery rhyme, the book appealed to parents eager to simultaneously amuse and educate their young readers.
