Strap in (safely, of course) — because There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Truck delivers a wild ride of nonsense, rhymes, and one very adventurous swallow. Why a truck? Who knows — but this quirky tale has your kiddos giggling as they try to follow her logic. It’s absurd, it’s silly, and it’s sneakily smart — perfect for little listeners who think “Why would she do that?!” is the best question ever.

Additional Information: Please be advised that crates may contain small parts that may not be suitable for children under 3 years. Do not consume crate contents.

When the book arrives, here's what you'll get:

  • A rhyming, cumulative narrative — each swallowed “thing” builds on the last
  • Big, bold illustrations that exaggerate for maximum humor
  • A growing list of swallowed items: a truck, tire, chain, wood, metal, tools, screws (and more)
