Summary

More
This Easter-themed book takes the traditional nonsense rhyme to new heights of silliness. It all starts when the old lady swallows a chick. Of course, that chick needs some warm straw, which the old lady promptly swallows. One thing leads to another, and she gulps down an egg, some candy (hey, it might come in handy), a brightly colored basket, and a bow. Put together, what could all these items possibly make?

About this Series

Whether this wacky old lady is eating bats (for Halloween), leaves (in fall), or clovers (for St. Patrick's Day), she's sharing what's special about each holiday or tradition in a fun, fresh way. With just enough suspense, the catchy rhymes in these picture books encourage readers to guess their way toward a satisfying ending. Plus, as the old lady gobbles and gobbles and gobbles, new readers get to experience rhyme, repetition, cause and effect, and sequencing—which can boost fluency and vocabulary skills. No wonder so many kids have an enormous appetite for books starring this lovable lady!
