toxic read tons of mysteries,
(including all the nancy drew & hardy boys..)
she especially liked this vintage 1967 scholastic book..
i distinctly remember she wanted to be just like the tall, skinny "strange girl" in the story..
i think we definitely achieved tall, skinny & strange.. lol
ghost & toxic
p.s. i found another scholastic mystery by this same author ~ the ghost rock mystery

a scholastic picture book today ~
a caldecott honor book by simms taback ~
toxic remembers this old tale as an oral story told from memory ~
but this illustrated special version is way more fun :) ~
oh dear god my worst fear :O ~
as you'll recall, there was an old lady who swallowed a fly ~
no one seems to know why she swallowed the original fly? ~
perhaps by accident? ~
so she swallows a spider to catch the fly & next a bird to catch the spider ~
& then, yes, she swallows a cat to catch the bird ~
so you see how this goes, i don't know how but she swallows a cow ~
many years ago at one of our big family xmas gatherings i gave a plush version of this story to one of my young nieces (this one here) & my sister loved it so much she'd tell the story while stuffing the various creatures into the funny old lady toy, more priceless memories (i need to replace this lost toy!) ~
this version uses a cutout in the pages to show the creatures inside the old lady, with fun comments all around ~
the moral ~
never swallow a horse ~
more like this to come ~
