Summary: There was an old Lady who Swallowed a Fly
Comment: There was an old Lady who Swallowed a Fly by Simms Taback is an excellent book. It expands the imagination of children so they can enhance their learning skills. Given the ability to see directly into the old lady's stomach will attract their small little eyes. Vibrant colors stand out against the black back round to allow each and every swallowed animal to appear more important. Reading There was an old Lady who Swallowed a Fly would create a wonderful memory and a child who loves to read because of the rhyming and well-written vocabulary. Although children will love to read it, age six is a reasonable age for them to handle the book in their own tiny hands. However, there is no child too you to read and enjoy this book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Delightfully Silly
Comment: Perhaps I was just in a weird mood when I first read this book to my son, but I just found it laugh out loud hilarious. The expressions on the old lady's face are just too much, and the clever running commentary by the about-to-be-swallowed animals just adds to the fun.
The artwork is colorful and detailed, and there is plenty of little details for a smartalecky kid (or a smartalecky adult) to pick out of the background. My son loved this book and so did I. I would heartily recommend it. I will actively seek out other books by Simms Tayback.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fun to Read
Comment: I don't know of many stories that are more fun to read. My daughter loves the animals and the bright pictures. The words will keep her attention through about half the book usually. She is still young though and some of the pages towards the end get a little long. The book is probably better suited for children 2 and older.
