There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves (Lucille Colandro)


On the opening page of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves, the old lady leans back to swallow a pile of leaves falling from the sky. After that, this wacky, imaginative, cumulative tale just gets sillier and sillier.

Each time the old lady swallows something new, the cumulative text repeats the past things she has swallowed in reverse sequence and ends with foreshadowing: “Perhaps she’ll sneeze!” Through the story, the old lady swallows a shirt, a pumpkin, a pole, some pants, a rope, and some hay.

Then, as predicted from the start, the old lady sneezes. All the things she has swallowed fly out of her mouth accompanied by a big “ACHOO!” On the last page, readers find out why the old lady swallowed all those strange things – they come together to make an autumn scarecrow.

RHYME PLAY

Five Little Balloons

Five little balloons bobbin in a store -

One went POP and then there were four.

Four little balloons - each one was free;

One went POP and then there were three.

Three little balloons so shiny and new -

One went POP and then were two.

Two little balloons - balloons are fun!

One went POP and then were one.

One little balloon got caught in the door.

It went POP and there were no more!

Frogs Life Cycle

Rhyme:

Five Little Tadpoles

Five little tadpoles swimming near the shore.

The first on said, "Let''s swim some more!"

The second one said, "Let's rest awhile."

The third one said, "Swimming makes me smile!"

The fourth one said, "My legs are growing long!"

The fifth one said, "I'm getting very strong!"

Five little tadpoles will soon be frogs.

They'll jump from the water and sit on logs.
