As promised, another children's Thanksgiving book is on step 1. If you know the
song There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, you'll be able to sing along
with this book to that tune.
Here is the description from the inside front cover:
THE OLD LADY who comes for Thanksgiving dinner has brought a mouthwatering
pie... and a monstrous appetite! This ravenous relative doesn't even make it to
the table before she has swallowed her own offering.
Then down goes a jug of cider to moisten the pie (which was really too dry),
then an entire squash, followed by a bowl of salad--and the whole darn turkey!
The future looks murky after that turkey, but the old lady eats on and on in
this outrageous fantasy of feasting-gone-wild.
To the horror of her flabbergasted hosts and the delight of their
children--and readers--the ever-expanding elder makes an unexpected but
delightful contribution to the holiday festivities after all. This book is the
perfect treat for anyone in need of a larger-than-life-size laugh.
