 There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly A Caldecott Honor Book Fun and colorful illustrations with clever quips by the animals not yet eaten. This book features peek-a-boo pages that children enjoy. |  There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly A Child's Play Book Clever cut outs let you peek inside the lady's stomach as each animal surrounds the previous ones. Also available in hardcover and as a Big Book. |
 I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie Illustrations both terrific and tongue-in-cheek horrific lead us through Thanksgiving day, when an old lady swallows the pie in one gulp than works her way through the rest of the feast, long before it ever gets to the table. Lots of fun and a huge hit with my students when it was released last year. |  There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Trout! Eye-popping paintings capture the scenery and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest in this energetic recasting of a favorite children's rhyme. The buoyant text bobs along as the old lady swallows a salmon, an otter, a seal, a walrus ... until eventually she swallows the entire sea and the trout swims free! |
