 disappointed October 2, 2008
I don't remember if there were size dimensions given for this book, but I expected it to be twice the size. I have other books from this author and publisher and they are nice and big and easy for me to use in class. This book is really too small for me to read to my class. I am sadly disappointed.
 Love this book September 30, 2008
Loved this book as a kid - so had to buy it for my baby.
Love it! August 5, 2008
Great book. Have always wanted it and I really enjoy reading it with my son who likes it too!
 We don't pull it out often enough June 24, 2008
Probably because I prefer to sing the song :)
It's very cleverly designed - every page you turn, you can see how the old woman is cramming more and more animals into her belly until the horse fills it entirely - then she's dead, of course! (And that's precisely why one should never swallow a horse.)
I don't mind, even remotely, the discussion of death. Why? Because most kids are creepy, morbid, bloodthirsty little creatures anyway, and this natural trait should really be encouraged. My little nieces sing that final line with relish, because it is quite silly - she ate a horse! She's dead! You should never eat horses!
Of course, if I try singing "You are my sunshine", they start crying. They don't want me to go away and never come back... or something.
