Classic song to enjoy with your kids, 14 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (Classic Books with Holes) (Board book)
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?

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!

I remember this book from my childhood and have seen it in shops, so i thought i would buy it for my little boy. When it arrived i was disappointed because it is so small. I was expecting a big A4 size book but it is only marginally bigger than a Cd case………..i guess you would call it pocket sized! The story is as fabulous as ever, but because it is small the writing is crammed in and difficult to read.
