A fresh and feisty take on a beloved classic! 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 from midgulp to midbelly 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. A spirited and funny read-aloud. School Library Journal The star of this show is the rainbow-scarved black kitty with his outsize personality that jumps off every page. BookDragon
