"You should never swallow a horse because you'll die." It's a silly book. "I swallowed a fly before and I didn't die. " I like how the spider tickles her tummy.

This is a fiction book. It is about an old lady who shallows a fly. She shallows a spider to catch the fly; then a bird, a cat, a dog, a goat, a cow and even a horse!

I like it when she swallows a goat. Its funny. It looks like she's pregnant! The doctor puts something on her tummy to see what she's swallowed, and that makes me laugh. I like her nose clip! And when she sings and the fly accidentally goes in her throat. I like it when the cat plays with the flowers and a butterfly.

It wasn't really that interesting because I already know whT happened, but I liked it a bit because it was funny. It was a bit too easy for me really.

It would be better for younger readers, I would give it an age limit of 6/7 years old.
