I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is a classic childrens book from my childhood. I remember reading this book in class when I was in kindergarten or first grade. The book is about an old lady who swallows a fly and then swallows many other odd things to try and catch the fly. In the end she swallows a horse and dies.
I think this book is a great book for kids who are learning to read because there is a lot of repetition in it. If you are reading this book to kids they are sure to join in by the end. The only problem I have with this book is that the ending is not a happy one. The old lady dies. It is good for kids to see an ending that is not always happy, but young kids might be a little uneasy about this. The illustrations in the book are colorful and funny. Kids will get a good laugh while reading this book and looking at the pictures.
I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is a fun book for kids who are learning how to read. Though there are other books out there I would recommend over this one in terms of content for the younger kids, I still enjoy reading it at 20 years old.
