A modern twist on a timeless song!

An updated and slightly different take on the classic folk song There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, with a new, kid-friendly ending, I Know an Old Lady is a hilarious picture book for children aged 4 - 6, featuring the iconic old lady that can't stop eating the strangest things!

With memorable lyrics, absurd illustrations, and expressive die-cut elements that gradually grow and build upon each other until the old lady's stomach is filled with bizarre objects—from a small fly all the way up to a horse—this silly children's book of a timeless tale will delight both kids and parents alike!

Illustrator Edward Miller is a published author and illustrator of several other children's books, including What Happens to a Hamburger?, the Sticker Stories Series, The Monster Health Book, and more. His version of I Know an Old Lady stands out in that the old lady miraculously survives for an updated and kid-friendly ending.

A perfectly absurd board book that nostalgic parents will enjoy too, kids will want to read I Know an Old Lady again and again!
