Hey everyone! Get ready for “There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose!” – this nutty picture book from 2012 by Lucille Colandro, the author who’s spun tons of these swallowing tales like the fly and bell ones, with Jared Lee’s goofy illustrations popping since the 70s. She gulps a rose “to make a bouquet,” then lace, glitter, a heart, candy, a card and bow for Valentine’s vibes, repeating the rhyme each time until she burps up a surprise. Lee’s pictures burst with wild colors and the lady’s belly bulging funny, making it a hoot for tots 3-5.
Scholastic put it out, Goodreads rates it 3.7 from 700+ folks calling it “silly repeat fun” that sparks chants without trying hard. Kids crack up at the absurd eats, sneaking in giggles about nonsense. Parents dig the read-aloud vibe for building rhyme skills sneaky-like. If you’re hunting for a quick laugh, snag it at – it’s short, sweet, and leaves them wanting sequels! 🌹 Check details here or Amazon there praising the holiday twist without fuss. So if your kid loves rhyming antics or Valentine stuff, this gem’s bound to stick – maybe inspire some crafty cards. Grab via __ and let the swallows roll! 📖😂
