![]() ![]() All in all, this illustrator provides an eye-catching, energy-filled interpretation that could easily become a classic in itself. The text is handwritten on vivid strips of paper that are loosely placed on the patterned page, thus creating a lively interplay between the meaning of the words and their visual power. ![]() ![]() The pattern of the lady's dress, with its patchwork of bright, torn colored paper pasted on black, is used as the background motif for the words. A die-cut hole allows readers to see inside her belly, first the critters already devoured and, with the turn of the page, the new animal that will join the crowd in her ever-expanding stomach. As for the old lady, with her toothy grin and round bloodshot eyes, she looks wacky enough to go so far as to swallow a horse. Each page is full of details and humorous asides, from the names of different types of birds, to a recipe for spider soup, to the rhyming asides from the spectating animals. From cover to moral (never swallow a horse), this cleverly illustrated version of an old folk favorite will delight children. Grade Level: 1st (GLCs: Click here for grade level guidelines.)
