There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea by Jennifer Ward; illustrated
by Steve Gray (Rising Moon, 2007). ISBN: 978-0873588980
Are you looking for something to SPICE UP your story time with
elementary students? A book to complement your desert habitat
study? A read-aloud to share with your music teacher? Then get
ready for the merriment of Jennifer Ward's wildly exuberant variant
of the old rhyme, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Steve
Gray's exaggerated illustrations, including the expressive wall-eyed
coyote and his host of meal courses from flea to bull to various
items of western attire (think cowboy boots and ten gallon hats!),
will have kids roaring with laughter as they sing verse after verse
of delightful cumulative rhyme: "He swallowed the chile to season the
bird. / He swallowed the bird to catch the snake. / He swallowed the
snake to catch the lizard. / He swallowed the lizard to catch the
flea, / Plucked from his knee, that tickly flea. / Yippe-o-ki-yee!"
Be prepared for noise, silliness, and all-out fun in your library the
day you share this treasure! [Suggested grades: K-5]
