HS: These books are silly but my kids love them. We've watched the author read live via Scholastic on Storyvoice a few times (their host Mike is awesome) and then my kids like to read them over and over again. Then they try and create their own versions of the books too.

Ally B: Cute story but not for toddlers. It did not hold their attention enough. Would work well for preschool children.

lornaS: Lovely Halloween book. Children loved the pace and flow of the story. I was expecting something more at the end - like a creation from all of the things she swallowed, but instead it just says "trick or treat".

Germany on Dec 08, 2018

Sha-Lo: My toddler fell in love with the first book "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Fly", but the end of this book didn't live up to the others, when the old lady spits out the items/animals, etc. she's eaten, there usually is a big surprise saying "Happy Halloween" and out comes all her friends, this didn't have that - being a Halloween-themed book, I thought the outcome would've followed suit...disappointing. She was gearing up for the grand finale, but it wasn't as fun as the others...I don't think I'll purchase the rest (frog, bell, leaves, etc.)
