Description: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly by Kate Toms is a rollicking, interactive picture book that reimagines the beloved cumulative nursery rhyme with hilarious flair for young listeners aged 2-6. Watch in gleeful disbelief as a quirky old lady gulps down a fly ("I don't know why!"), then a spider to catch it, a bird, cat, dog, goat, and cow—each swallow more absurd than the last—until a horse tips her over the edge! Toms' vibrant, expressive illustrations pop with wacky expressions and tumbling chaos, while the rhythmic text begs for sing-song read-alouds and audience participation. Perfect for preschool storytimes, this timeless tale builds suspense, vocabulary, and giggles through repetition and surprise. It sparks chats about silly choices, animal antics, and cause-effect, making it a must-have for lap reads, classroom rhymes, or family fun that sticks like a swallowed spider!
