There Was an Old Pirate Who Swallowed a Fish
This hardcover picture book brings a swashbuckling twist to the beloved "Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" song. Young readers will delight as the old pirate swallows increasingly absurd items—starting with a fish, then a bird, a map, some gold, and even an entire pirate ship! Will he sink to the bottom of the deep, dark sea? Yo ho ho! Watch his belly grow!
Perfect for Read-Aloud and Singalong
Jennifer Ward's clever adaptation transforms the classic cumulative tale into an ocean adventure that children will want to hear again and again. The repetitive, rhythmic text makes this an ideal read-aloud book for preschoolers and early readers ages 4-8. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will appreciate how the familiar song structure helps young children predict what comes next while building early literacy skills.
