The BEST of all the variations of this story

I am a teacher and have therefore read many of the variations of "I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". My review takes into consideration my friends', family, and students' opinions as well as my own. I would have to say that this version is by far the best. The pictures are adorable, the writing is clever, and it is one of the few variations that includes a goat in the story. As a teacher, I also highly recommend purchasing the doll that goes with this book. As you read along the children can stuff each animal into her mouth(the kids love it). Of course, you can do this activity with any variation of the book, but I suggest Nadine Bernard Westcott's.

I Know an Old Lady

This was my favorite book when I was younger. ?I know and old Lady? is a very good book. It tells about how and old lady swallows a fly. After that she swallows a spider to catch the fly. Then she swallows a bird to catch the spider, she swallows a cat to catch the bird, she swallows a dog to catch the cat, and she swallows a goat to catch the dog. She swallows a cow to catch the goat and then she swallows a horse to catch the cow. This is a very good and funny book. In the back of this book it even has a song that can go along with the book. The song has a very cute tune to go with the story and children will enjoy singing it. When I read this book the first time I remember that I really enjoyed it and I wanted to read it over and over again. I would recommend this book for children of any age. They can also sing along with the song. I would suggest that you read this book because I really enjoyed it.

Worth Every Penny...

An enjoyable book to read and enjoy with your child. I don't think you can get through this book without singing the words and lots of giggles.

An Old Favorite

My aunt used to sing this to me when I was little. I always got such a kick out of the song. Now I enjoy sharing it with my son.

This is a very fun read

This book is great. I have another version of this story and this one is by far the better of the two. The pictures are full of detail that add so much to the silly little song that so many of us know and love. This story includes the whole song for the story instead of just a part of it as some books do. The pictures add so much by showing the old lady chasing and catching the animals. It's all done in such a silly way as to not scare a child but just to make them laugh. I think most children would really like this book.
