Cute Aussie take on the Old Lady Who Swallows a Fly book - great illustrations and perfect to read to kids.

The rhyme is a bit clunky but the illustrations are hilarious and for some reason when the words are sung aloud it results in an enthusiastic roar of laughter from all involved.

A hilarious story about an old lady who swallows a thong at the beach! To fetch the thong she swallows a seahorse, to ride the seahorse she swallows prawn! I don't know why she swallowed the thong- that's got to be wrong!

A fun story with colourful illustrations, this book is great for young children.

That Aussie Old Lady is back for another round. This time she is at the beach, swallowing beach and ocean items. The animation is really superb and detailed here, with each page being just eye popping and gorgeous. The story is a notch below the Mozzie but still very good. Watch out for the old ladies false teeth for a fun side game to play with the kids.
