We have been reading various versions of the story, "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly." We are comparing stories, making flow charts, and noticing how the ending is the same or different. Author Lucille Colandro has a serious of "old lady" books in which she swallows: a shell, a chick, some snow, and a bat. We also read:
There was an old lady who swallowed Fly Guy by Tedd Arnold
I Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello by Barbara Garriel
There was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea by Jennifer Ward
I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie by Alison Jackson
There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Trout by Teri Slout
With the book involving the Cello, we made a list of the instruments that the shy fellow swallowed and put them in their correct family in the orchestra: woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings. Mrs. Kinion was proud of us!
Who knew there were so many "old lady" books!!
