There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly is a great book and it is very well illustrated. It is a rhyming book that is very fun to read. It helps with memorization because it repeats things on each page. First an old lady swallows a fly, then eventually, an owl, a cat, a cow, and a horse. At last, the old lady dies because she swallows a horse. Students find this ver funny and most can remember what is coming next on each page.

'There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly' by Simms Taback is a very colorful book that tells the story of an old lady that swallows insects and animals. The book begins when the old lady swallows a fly and continues with a spider, a cat, a cow and finally a horse. The pages are cut out so that it looks as if the reader can see the animal inside the old lady's stomach. Each page in the book rhymes like a poem and is full of vibrant, colorful pictures. I would read this book to students in grades K-2.

Genre: Fiction because a lady could not swallow all those animals and therefore is not a realistic book. Media: acrylic paint, pens ( )
