I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly -- Alan Mills

A fresh rendition of a classic children's tune followed by a buffet of silly sing-along songs. <br /><br />Get to know a quirky old lady who swallows a heap of animals--from a dog, cat, bird and spider to that infamous little fly. The children's classic, for which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known, sets the table for more timeless folk tunes, written over 50 years ago. Tongue-in-cheek and smart at heart, this buffet of singalong alphabet, counting and rhyming songs is jaw-droppingly silly as it is devourable. <br /><br />The accompanying recordings can be accessed with a QR printed in the book.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Alan Mills<br><b>Publisher:</b> Secret Mountain<br><b>Published:</b> 06/01/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 36<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.95lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.70h x 9.70w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9782898360718<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><strong>Alan Mills</strong> (1913-1977) was a Canadian folksinger, writer, and actor.
