There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly! by Lucille Colandro -- OPTIONAL

Colandro, Lucille There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly! Illustrated by Jared Lee. Cartwheel Books, 2014. $6.99. Content: G.

Illustrations accompany the lyrics of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." A twist at the end keeps this version from having the usual tragic resolution. This is a cute rendition of the popular folk song, but there are a lot out there already, and this one seems redundant, especially since the "twist" at the end isn't particularly creative. School libraries and classrooms that do not already have something similar may benefit from purchasing a copy, however.

Pre-K, EL (K-3) -- OPTIONAL.
