We don't pull it out often enough

Probably because I prefer to sing the song :)

It's very cleverly designed - every page you turn, you can see how the old woman is cramming more and more animals into her belly until the horse fills it entirely - then she's dead, of course! (And that's precisely why one should never swallow a horse.)

I don't mind, even remotely, the discussion of death. Why? Because most kids are creepy, morbid, bloodthirsty little creatures anyway, and this natural trait should really be encouraged. My little nieces sing that final line with relish, because it is quite silly - she ate a horse! She's dead! You should never eat horses!

Of course, if I try singing "You are my sunshine", they start crying. They don't want me to go away and never come back... or something.

Inventive die-cut artwork offers young readers of all ages a rollicking, eye-popping version of the well-loved poem about the old lady who swallowed a fly, a spider, a bird, a cat, a dog, and worse."
