Product Description

Product Description
Through the use of die-cutting, this book tells the story of "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly". The holes in the page are designed to draw the reader through the book.

Excerpted from There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly by Pam Adams. Copyright © 2000. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved
"There was an old lady that swallowed a spider, that wriggled and wriggled and jiggled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she'll die."

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic song to enjoy with your kids, 14 Mar 2003
By A Customer
My Mum bought this for me when I was little and I loved the song. I forgot all about it until recently when I bought a Pete Seeger CD - 'Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes (Little and Big)' - and it has this slightly dark but funny song on it. So I searched on Amazon and found the book I had when I was little. It's got holes in it so you can peek into the old lady's tummy to see all the animals she's gobbled up. Now my little girl enjoys singing the song with me about the old lady who swallowed the horse, cow, dog, cat, bird, spider and fly - perhaps she'll die?

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful, 28 April 2005
By C. Chambers (Shenfield, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly......and copious other creatures, much to the three year old's delight. Great pictures and you view what she has swallowed through a hole of ever increasing size. "Mama, they're in her tummy!" He loves running his finger round the wiggly die cut holes where the repeat lines appear. He loves giggling at the tickly spider. It's not the sort of book you need to encourage them to get involved with - they just do! A lovely version of this old classic song and one that gets the cry of "do it again" at least three times every time you read it. Great fun. Enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars She's dead of course!, 7 Feb 2004
By A Customer
I remembered reading this book to my sister when she was a baby (20-odd years ago!) and thought that I'd buy it to read to my 2 1/2 year old daughter.

My little girl loves it, she likes the fact you can see what she's eaten and best of all she loves shouting at the end of every page "Perhaps she'll die!"
