Easy reading for younger children.

The words follow a repetitive rhyme which is easy for children to learn to read by. Illustrations are cute and well done. My granddaughter loves them!!

Kids just love this stuff and the halloween theme makes it more entertaining during this time. There was an old lady who could swallow just about anything I believe. Even a wizard!

Book review

THIS BOOK IS REALLY CUTE AND ALWAYS GETS A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF MY DAUGHTER AS WE READ IT TOGETHER. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS VERY INTERACTIVE AND IMAGINATIVE.

From the back of the book . . . .

You won't believe why the old lady swallowed a bat an owl a cat a ghost a goblin some bones and a wizard! Read this book to find out.

She swallowed . . .

This is a fun story. I teach kindergarten and I love books that are repetitive and have rhythm. The children wanted this story read several times.

Great Halloween version of an old favorite!

This is a funny and easy-to-read picture book with hilarious illustrations, perfect for the 3-6 year-old in your life. My son and I read this together at least 10 times, and he still remembers it fondly. The one to two sentences per page read with an easy cadence that makes the book flow, very like the original Old Lady story. Great Halloween reading!
