A classic cumulative rhyme turns delightfully ridiculous as the old lady “solves” one swallow by gulping the next—fly to spider to bird and beyond—until the escalating chain lands on its famously final punchline. The book's design makes the joke physical, using a tall, character-like format with peek-through die-cuts, tactile finishes, and engineered reveals, so readers can literally see the chaos building inside her as they turn the pages.
