Bedtime Story: There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books by Lucille Colandro & Illustrated by Jared Lee

Read for: Bedtime Story/ Children's Books


Synopsis: "There was an old lady who's ready for school!

That lovely old lady has returned just in time for the first day of school. Now she's swallowing items to make the very best of her first day back. And just in time for the bus...

With rhyming text and funny illustrations, this lively version of the classic song will appeal to young readers with every turn of the page--a fun story for the first day of school!"

My Review: I used to read all these Old Lady Who Swallowed . . . books to Munchkin when he was little and came across this one when clearing out the shelves. I honestly think these books got weirder and weirder as they went on. Munchkin still gets a laugh out of them but this one didn't roll off the tongue the way previous books in the series did. On top of that the ending really didn't make a whole lot of sense. I guess it is time for us to move on from these books.

My Rating: This series was fun the first 3 or 4 books we read but the idea gets a little old.  Munchkin still enjoyed parts of it but he has definitely started to outgrow these books and it probably won't be picked up again.  We give it a rating of Two Paws.


Good Night! Sweet Dreams!
