As a child, when I heard the opening notes of "I Know an Old Lady (Who Swallowed a Fly)" I would be rolled on the floor in fits of laughter. The Pete Seeger song was a staple in our home and we played it until the tape wore out. I recently introduced the folk tune to my daughter, who thinks it is one of the silliest stories she has ever heard.
So when I came upon this set ($50) that includes the old lady and the eight insects and animals she eats to get to the fly, I knew I'd found a winner. We can now act out the story as we read along with the accompanying book. I foresee many belly laughs in our future.

i sing this to MY son all the time, my husband is amazed i know all these children songs... i amaze myself that i remember them all... this is TERRIFIC (but also a little pricey, we'll wait till christmas for this maybe it'll go on sale)!
1i used to have this in my classroom (former kindergarten teacher) and the kids LOVED it...my daughter will see this very soon, she is still too little but i know she will get enjoyment out of it soon.
2How cute! I loved the song as a kid too. I agree with Rostarchic though about it being a bit pricey. Might be a great arts and craft project to do with the kiddies.
