Publisher's Synopsis
This joke book takes as its framework the cumulative nursery song that starts "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly". Successive double-page spreads thus feature jokes on flies, spiders, birds, cats, dogs, goats, cows and horses. The book goes on to extend the the song beyond its normal end.;Arthur Robins has also illustrated "Little Rabbit Foo Foo", "Impo", "The Magic Bicycle", "Beware Olga!" and "The Finger Eater".
