About This Book
This board book edition of 'I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly' is a delightful, brightly illustrated retelling of the classic cumulative folk song. It follows a whimsical old lady who swallows increasingly larger animals, from a tiny fly to a massive horse, with humorous and repetitive text. Ideal for babies and toddlers, its playful rhythm and rhyme make it a perfect read-aloud for developing language skills and introducing animal names. While the physical board book is best for very young children, the song's humor and engaging structure can entertain preschoolers and early elementary kids as well.
