![]() I strongly feel that this story could motivate children when reading and therefore supports children reading for pleasure. I read this book to a class of year one children and there was a lot of laughter throughout the book. ![]() The design of the book is also interesting and engaging for younger viewers as there are purposely created holes to see into the ladies tummy and all the animals she has swallowed. When telling the story to young children the words can be turned into a song which adds to the enjoyment element. The comical element of the story is that the lady dies after she swallows the horse however she should have died after swallowing the bird. The lady keeps swallowing animals to catch the last animal she swallowed. The story is about a lady who swallows a whole list of animals (fly, spider, bird, cat, dog, pig, goat, cow, donkey and a horse). ![]() This is a fun story to read to your class and is most likely aimed for lower key stage one children.
