There Was an Old Mummy Who Swallowed a Spider

I haven't read it yet to my nieces and nephews, but I've read it myself and found it quite fun. I love the pics, so colorful and so many fun things to discover on each page. The story is cute and senseless, just like the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, but that's what makes it fun! Also helps inspire kids' imagination as you ask them to try to come up with reasons why each item was swallowed. I can remember as a kid my brother and I would go through the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly and come up with different reasons while waiting for the bus, giggling as we got crazier and crazier.

I purchased this book, for my niece. I planned on making somewhat of a pre-Halloween day, and thought this would be a fun book to read to her, before we made mummy crafts. I don't think a book has ever been able to hold her attention long enough, to finish it, so when she wanted to read this book again and again, I was pleasantly surprised!The story isn't scary, but at the same time, does have a spooky theme. I like that the lines rhyme, and that while the story isn't complicated, it's still fun enough to not be boring. Very cute.

I bought this for my 3-year-old granddaughter and she seemed to like it. I thought it was a bit silly, and not the easiest to read. It had a rather odd, uniqueness to it.But! She liked it and that is what counts.

My 6-year-old boys really enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations are bright and the extra characters are doing funny things. Reading it out loud is sometimes awkward as it rhymes and then, it doesn't. I always prefer one or the other, not a mix. But the kids don't seem to mind. The ending, though, was just a bit unexpected as it ended without any more mention of what happened to all the things swallowed.

What a funny, adorable book to read to the students ! The book is in 100% perfect condition, pristine! I hope the seller has more books, soon, that I will be able to buy for my collection! Thank you, Seller. You did an exemplary job.-- Julie B.

My 5 year old preschool granddaughter loved this book especially at Halloween!

My niece is obsessed with this book! The Illustrations are beautiful and the story is delightful. We read it over and over.

My 3 1/2 year old granddaughter got the bog kick out of this book. She even got the hang of the last couple of sentences. A cute take off of the old song "There was an Old Woman who Shallowed a Fly".

Just in time for Halloween. A great book to be enjoyed by all. You will want to sing it through the second time.

fantastically illustrated, a fun take on the old story
