There Was an Old Lady

Lucille Colandro is a GENIUS!  Have you read her books?  She has such a talent for taking the classic There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly story and turning it into these cute, funny, entertaining stories that children love reading!  My newest favorite in her series is There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick!.

This book can be purchased through Amazon.

Basically, the Old Lady swallows all of these Easter/Spring items and, at the end of the story, coughs of an Easter basket of goodies when she meets the Easter Bunny.  The Old Lady books are full of fun rhyming words and can be used to practice the sequencing of events.  Here are two FREEBIES from my Old Lady bundle on TpT:
