It’s the Old Lady as you’ve never seen her before! Now she’s swallowing animals from the classic story…to create a home full of lovable pets!
With rhyming text and hilarious illustrations, this is the original song young readers know and love with a wacky twist. The perfect story to read all year long!
This is still a very fun read, but I am fairly certain they’ve changed the story since I was a kid… It used to go “I don’t know why she swallowed that fly, perhaps she’ll die.” and now it goes “I don’t know why she swallowed that fly, she won’t say why.” Not quite as fun as the original.
Nice rendition of an old story. I like how they changed the text from original “I guess she’ll die” to “she won’t say why” Great for children up to 9. Older children can act out the text. Especially wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. I added that line each time we reviewed what she had eaten.
