I don't know what I was expecting, but it was kinda amusing ( )

I think this book is funny for children. I liked how the book was organized and engaging. Everytime that the lady swallowed something new, the story would track back and go over everything she had swallowed and why. This is engaging as well because during reading, children want to remember these items that she swallowed. However, the character and plot in the book was not realistic. The character eats school supplies which is not something a normal person would do. Also the author writes that no one gave her looks which is unrealistic for someone that is eating absurd items. ( )

This book is about an old lady who swallows many strange things but no one knows why. It is full of rhyming and repetition. It is a quick read and goes on and on about all of the things this lady eats. It has great illustrations and is engaging for all ages.

This book is great for the first day of school and is guaranteed to make kiddos laugh. I remember reading There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly! when I was younger and thought it was fun to see all of the different variations there are now of the same old lady. ( )

This book employs rhyme and repetition to create a read for the first day of school. Unfortunately the final pages did not continue the repetition. The book is the first of several school-related items she swallows. The whimsical illustrations are the book's strongest feature. Young children will probably enjoy it, but it's a story they will not wish to repeat often. ( )
