Welcome to Litsy!

My absolute favorite thing about this book was the illustrations and how the illustrations made the book really speak to you. I think this is such a great read for children. It portrays as a funny/comical book that a lot of children would enjoy. Overall, the illustrations in this book speak for itself on top of the text intertwined.

This traditional literature story is a caldecott award winner. A fun thing to do with this story is to use it for story telling. This book teaches lessons and students are always engaged in a quality storytelling. https://www.readingrockets.org/literacyapps/multimedia-composition #UCFLAE3414SP21 UDL 1.2 is used by giving students an auditory way to read the book

This book, a Caldecott award winner, is a story about an old lady who kept swallowing animals to catch the animal she swallowed before it.

I would use this book in my future classroom, because it can get a quiet, more relaxed, classroom more excited and energetic due to how fun and silly you can make your voice while reading it.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Perhaps she'll die.

Loved the illustrations and set up of the book with different size holes inside of it. Would just be a good enjoyable read for kids when in the mood for a laugh.

Tonight, we read “There was an old lady who swallowed a fly” by Simms Taback. This is a fiction picture book that won the silver Caldecott award. It‘s about a Lady who started off swallowing a fly, and no one knows why. She then continues to swallow a bunch of animals. She starts off eating small animals that catch one another and gradually increases to eating big ones until she dies. #ucflae3414su19

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly illustrated by Pam Adams is a traditional literature picture book that would be perfect for a story telling! Above is my visuals used for when I did a story telling https://sunflowerstorytime.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/there-was-an-old-lady1.pd... This story telling activity would work well with the ESOL strategy 17 of using audio visuals, models, body language, and demonstrations.

#picturebooklove #17booklove love this version of this story. The eyes close when you turn the last page. Slightly macabre maybe...
