The Old Lady is back! She's at it again. It began with a fly and now again with a Pen. Doesn't she know she shouldn't swallow such things? Imagine swallowing a pen, it must really sting. A great story for kids (both the old and the young). She hasn't stopped yet, so I doubt she is done! She's a happy (and quite zany) Old Lady for sure. Her tales make us smile, and that's worth so much more.The Little Old Lady (or Little Old Woman) stories started with the fly, since then, through many authors the stories have grown. This is just one more installment in those enjoyable stories.

We all remember the old lady who swallowed a fly, a spider, a cat, a dog, a cow, and a horse. Now we know how she did it! Rashin’s colorful and comedic illustrations take you mid-gulp to mid-belly as the animals are swallowed whole. Her devoted cat tries to help: “Stop!” “Don’t eat it.” “Try this!” But when the old lady grabs the cat—it’s every beast for itself: “Eat the dog!” And when the old lady cheers: “Catch it!”—the critters leap into action to catch the one that was swallowed before.

..".the mystery and fascination of a cod-cracking spy kit...makes for absorbing readalong material, and narrator Suzanne Toren's kid-friendly pace is also just right...but perfectly timed to allow readers a moment to enjoy the funny pictures. Light, entertaining sound effects capturing doggy drool and barked affection add to the fun, while musical expression in the background rounds out the listening experience." --AudioFile
