There Was an Old Martian Who Swallowed the Moon

In the ever popular riff off There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly, there is a Martian who swallows lots of things in space, until he's finally full. Cute and funny.

The illustrations are awesome. The story is cute. It falls in line with all the other "There was an old Lady who swallowed a ..." different twist to it. Kids 7 and younger will enjoy it.

I love this author's books! Great cumulative tale with lots of repetition, opportunities for language and concepts and even opportunities for kids yoga.

I don't love this book, but my daughter does & that's what's important! It seems like there are a lot of unnecessary pages & words are seperated in a weird way.. but maybe I'm just sick of reading it everyday haha

Doesn't have the same catchy rhythm as the old lady who swallowed a fly, and is missing the repeated catch line, perhaps she'll die--or a variation for the rhyme. But otherwise cute and clever

What does a moon,cow,rover, and spaceship all have in common? A hungry old Martian wants to find out. Delightful in every way this book will be read again and again by young people and the young at heart.

My class loved this book! Illustrations were the best colors I’ve seen in a book.

My 3 year old Grandson had me read it too him 3 times during our visit. Entertaining story, great illustrations with bright colors, provides adult readers lots of opportunities to use different voices or add sounds.

I enjoyed reading this book because it reminded me of the story, "Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly". The author presented the story very well with a good sense of humor. Also I loved the Illustrator's pictures with comical facial expressions of each character referring to the nursery rhyme, "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon. Very entertaining story which the children would love to listen to and read.

I still haven't received this item 😫

I read this during lockdown to my granddaughter across the internet and she demanded it at least three times a week! It was a firm favourite with lovely illustrations and a narrative that everyone could participate in. Excellent!
