A book no primary room or library should be without!

Teri Sloat offers a delightful twist to the old familiar lady who swallows the fly. I really think I prefer this version, as with young children I always change "perhaps she'll die" to "it made her cry" or "it makes me cry." In this story, the sea creatures are swallowed one by one and each phrase ends with "he wanted out!" The children catch on and repeat the last line or so and enjoy splishing, splashing and thrashing like the trout. The illustrations are beautiful and the children are thoroughly amused with both the pictures and the words. I LOVE THIS BOOK! You will, too!
