There Was an Old Mummy Who Swallowed a Spider

My kiddos have really enjoyed this book. The illustrations are wonderful. Cute and fun for the kids

This is one of the most adorable books ever!!! My son laughed and laughed!!! And I found myself laughing right along with him!!! This is a new take on an old favorite. However I thoroughly enjoyed this version better than ' There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly' It makes my son light up and has become a new favorite!!! It's fabulous!!!

Great story

My grandbaby loved it,

My 6-year-old boys really enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations are bright and the extra characters are doing funny things. Reading it out loud is sometimes awkward as it rhymes and then, it doesn't. I always prefer one or the other, not a mix. But the kids don't seem to mind. The ending, though, was just a bit unexpected as it ended without any more mention of what happened to all the things swallowed.

I haven't read it yet to my nieces and nephews, but I've read it myself and found it quite fun. I love the pics, so colorful and so many fun things to discover on each page. The story is cute and senseless, just like the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, but that's what makes it fun! Also helps inspire kids' imagination as you ask them to try to come up with reasons why each item was swallowed. I can remember as a kid my brother and I would go through the Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly and come up with different reasons while waiting for the bus, giggling as we got crazier and crazier.

My name is Connor. I'm six. This book is fantastic just like Halloween. You should read it because it's so spooky, spooky, spooky. And because it's spooky funny. My favorite part of the story is the part where the mummy eats the ghost. You should read it!

I purchased this book, for my niece. I planned on making somewhat of a pre-Halloween day, and thought this would be a fun book to read to her, before we made mummy crafts. I don't think a book has ever been able to hold her attention long enough, to finish it, so when she wanted to read this book again and again, I was pleasantly surprised! The story isn't scary, but at the same time, does have a spooky theme. I like that the lines rhyme, and that while the story isn't complicated, it's still fun enough to not be boring. Very cute.

Just in time for Halloween. A great book to be enjoyed by all. You will want to sing it through the second time.

My grandson has asked for this book for xmas. Hes going to love it :)

Great for younger children

Lo compré para hacer un cuentacuentos en el cole para Halloween y a los alumnos/as les encantó. Es muy simpático.

Funny take on the Old Lady who Swallowed a Spider.
