Who killed cock robin?

So I had an appointment today. It just happened to take me right near my favorite antique store. Poor me, right?  So of course I stopped in for a browse. Not expecting anything but to kill some time. I found a really cute childrens book. Who Killed Cock Robin & Other Stories. From about 1901 is my guess, but there isn't a publishing date, so I'll just say first half of the 1900's. Cute illustrations. In OK condition, but I got it for a steal!
This is the wren.

This is Cock Robin and he wants to marry the wren.
And I couldn't resist so here they are with just a bit of color.


Isn't he too cute tipping his top hat? I love it!

Kim, these are great! I love how you added color in just a few spots. The effect is so pretty.
