Song Storybook submitted by Susan Hopkins on August 12, 2011, 9:20am Nate says, "It was a really funny story! She swallowed a horse too but that didn't turn out as well for her as it turned out for the animals she swallowed!"

There Was An Old Lady submitted by SBNB on August 8, 2017, 9:09pm Cute book about the song of the same name.

Great sing song book submitted by lisaeilertsen on July 7, 2024, 6:53am This is a fun book, definitely like the original the best! We always end it with "we don't swallow our friends" ha!
