Description
A fresh rendition of a classic children's tune followed by a buffet of silly sing-along songs.
Get to know a quirky old lady who swallows a heap of animals--from a dog, cat, bird and spider to that infamous little fly. The children's classic, for which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known, sets the table for more timeless folk tunes, written over 50 years ago. Tongue-in-cheek and smart at heart, this buffet of singalong alphabet, counting and rhyming songs is jaw-droppingly silly as it is devourable.
The accompanying recordings can be accessed with a QR printed in the book.

Alan Mills (1913-1977) was a Canadian folksinger, writer, and actor.

He released several albums on Folkways Records of Canadian French folk songs and his performance at the 1960 Newport Folk Festival was preserved on a Vanguard recording.
