Not the easiest book to read aloud in story time with the writing going around and around as it does. The dying always made me uncomfortable reading it to 3-5 year olds, so I changed to to, "perhaps she'll cry" and the ending to, "She's sick in bed, of course."Genre: Traditional Literature One Unique Feature: This books unique feature is that there are "holes" in the pages of the book to add effect to the story! Grade Level Suggested: K-2nd grade
Finally!!! I've been hoping to come across a copy of this book, and it happened today. Best of all, it's in almost new condition. There must be dozens of different versions of this rhyme, but this is the best I've seen. The illustrations that show what's going on inside that silly woman's stomach fascinate the little kids. When the old lady dies (of course), we always agree that this is just a silly story and the lady was always imaginary. No one would ever swallow all of those things!I suspect

This book is awesome - we had it at playgroup when I was little and I just found a copy at a yard sale for my 2 year old and she loves it too!
This book tells the story of an old woman who swallowed a fly, spider, bird and a cat. This book follows a pattern; 'I know an old lady who swallowed a ...', which is attractive from the point of view of teaching rhythm and rhyme. However this is an extremely basic book, which could be infantile to the more advanced Primary 1 child, who would therefore gain little from having this book read to them. Thus this book may be more suited to the nursery classroom rather than the early primary setting.
A perfect read for a baby/toddler as the repetitive tone of your voice keeps them captivated along with the bright colours on the pages.
This story is completely absurd and totally hilarious. I really liked the illustrations in this particular book. Great read for the kiddos.
