A gross and giggle-inducing take on the classic children's song with "sly humor and a bit of the unexpected presented with bold art" (School Library Journal).

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly . . . Young readers will love hearing about the fly and all the other creepy-crawly bugs the old lady gulps down in this fanciful feast. With a taste for slugs, the old lady enjoys a poached roach, a squirmy worm, a wiggly spider, and more during the course of the tale. And a surprise ending reveals that this isn't just any old lady.

"As an enthusiast of fractured tales and a big fan of Johnette's songs and stories, I give Johnette's new book a big ten thumbs up. Her funny and surprising version gives a new twist to an old favorite. It is 'kidtastic!'" --Ann L. Davis, head of children's services, Napa City-County Library, Napa, California
