我推荐一本There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. 这本书依据经典儿歌There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly改编,叙述一个老婆婆吞了一只苍蝇后，又吞下蜘蛛去抓掉那一只苍蝇，然后又吞了一只小鸟来抓蜘蛛……等,最后她一共吃了七种动物,那她为什么要吞苍蝇呢？I dong't know why she swallowed the fly...故事开始念有点饶舌，熟了之后是朗朗上口啊。 有很多画家画过这个故事，我买的是以下这个版本 Retold by Author & Illustrator: Simms Taback Citation: Taback, S. (1997). There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. New York, NY.: Viking Children's Books. ISBN: 0-329-02921-5 Plot Summary: There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly, follows a hysterical story line in which a crazed looking old lady swallows a series of insects and animals. Beginning with her swallowing a fly, there is a notion that "perhaps she'll die!" From there she swallows a spider to catch the fly, then a bird to catch the spider, and so on. Throughout the book there are spectating animals that will later be devoured by her as well that make comments about her "food" choices and her fate. Their comments are rhyming and add a bit more humor to the overall story. The book shows the lady's ever-expanding stomach as she swallows more and more animals After she swallows a fly, a spider, a bird, a cat, a dog, and a cow, the story concludes with her swallowing of a horse. When she swallows the horse he story comes to it's halt suggesting that, "she died of course!." After the story-line is complete with her decease there is a final page offering the moral to the story..."never swallow a horse!" Critical Analysis: Simms Taback has created a cleverly illustrated version of the old folk tale, There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. The classic folk tale that has graced pre-schools and playgrounds for years, is captured by Taback in a vibrant colorful picture book with a di-cut hole cut out throughout its pages that allows readers to see inside her belly. The old lady character he has created looks wacky to the point there is no surprise she would swallow a fly and other animals. The words stay true to the original tale and there are some added silly notes appearing in speech bubbles from spectating animals that will eventually join the crowd in the lady’s ever-expanding stomach. The illustrations are built with torn colored paper set on a black background. Readers will find extra bits of quirkiness in humorous details such as multiple headlines in the newspaper. Some of these headlines include: Old Lady Swallows Fly, Cat Attacked...Culprit Identified, Lady Wolfs Down Dog, Whole Cow Devoured, and Lady Dines on Horse. Other silly add-ins include a recipe card for Spider Soup and a letter addressed to Ms. Old Lady, on Swallowlark Lane. This version of this silly folk tale is a must read, must see for readers interested in a funny timeless tale! 贴一个视频连接http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=altckbVlceM [ 本帖最后由 applephoebe 于 2011-11-6 00:13 编辑 ]

此书购于淘宝，去年Daniel上幼儿园小班，还不满3岁，刚上的一段时间哭得不行，老师不会中文沟通不了，老师提议我在班里陪半天，每天老师都会讲英文故事，念书，有一天唱了这首歌，配合一个很大的老太婆玩偶，大大的嘴巴，大大的肚子，还有很多Daniel喜欢的小动物，随着老师唱，老太婆一个个吞了很多小动物进肚子里，最后她死啦 Daniel说很喜欢这个故事，后来我不陪课了，他几次要求我和老师说还要讲这个故事，因为他还不会说英语，然后我就去淘宝搜索啦，买了这本书回来，自此以后Daniel每天抱着，一开始要我唱，不停唱，几天后他自己唱，他自己分成3种唱法，很快的唱，普通的唱，慢慢地唱，就算是 非常快速的唱，发音也是挺标准的，后来家里来人或者出去玩，逢人便唱这首歌，唱完还要用中文解释一遍怕人家听不懂，Daniel经常去隔壁小朋友家玩，居然教他唱这首歌，虽然只会一半 现在这本书已经翻的很破烂了，封面都快掉了 [ 本帖最后由 applephoebe 于 2011-11-6 00:25 编辑 ]

这是歌词 There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a spider, That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a bird; How absurd, to swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a cat. Imagine that, she swallowed a cat. She swallowed the cat to catch the bird … She swallowed the bird to catch the spider She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a dog. What a hog! To swallow a dog! She swallowed the dog to catch the cat … She swallowed the cat to catch the bird … She swallowed the bird to catch the spider She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a goat. Just open her throat and swallowed a goat. She swallowed the goat to catch the dog. She swallowed the dog to catch the cat … She swallowed the cat to catch the bird … She swallowed the bird to catch the spider She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a cow. I don’t know how she swallowed a cow! She swallowed the cow to catch the goat … She swallowed the goat to catch the dog … She swallowed the dog to catch the cat … She swallowed the cat to catch the bird … She swallowed the bird to catch the spider… She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed that fly— Perhaps she’ll die. There was an old lady who swallowed a horse— she’ died, of course.

Simms Taback的这个版本应该是最经典的。 他的绘画风格独树一帜，有不少作品都改编自儿歌和童谣。比如我们读过的： This is the house that Jack built (2004) Joseph Had a Little Overcoat (2000) 孩子还都比较喜欢。 他的绘本适合当启蒙读物。
