Super cute little audio - either music and sound effects- a Halloween version of the classic children‘s tale. #spookyghostclub #scarathlon

“I don‘t know why she swallowed a bat, imagine that.”

This is a great book to read to elementary students! They get to enjoy the repetition of the story and try to remember why she swallowed each item. When the book is read with appropriate tone and volume, the students will get a good laugh out of it.

This book is an example of a folk tale that builds upon itself. Therefore this is an example of accumulation. In addition, it shows repetition explaining why the old lady swallowed each Halloween thing in order to catch the bat. The bat that she originally swallowed, which no one knows why she swallowed the bat.

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat was written by Lucille Colandro and published in 2002. The book is repetitive in which an old lady continues to swallow things in order to catch the previous thing! It‘s also funny in which the kids would be entertained.

This book is a spin on the classic novel. I read this book to my classroom at the CDC since they are starting to get into Halloween. The kids really enjoyed it and I think it is a humorous and exciting book for kids to read.

published 2002. This is one of my favorite books. There is a lot of rhyme in this book which makes it very interesting to young children. There is also a lot of repetition in this book. This makes it easier for the younger children to read because they have a lot of repetition to make the book more fun.

There Was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Bat by Lucille Colandro Illustrated by Jared Lee is about an old lady who swallowed a bat, no one is sure why she did but she swallowed more things to calm the other. She ended up swallowing a wizard and she yelled “Trick or Treat” and burped and they all came out. This story is cute for around Halloween time. #ucflae3414f17

Madiwright97 http://www.teachingheart.net/oldladybat.html love this lesson plan. It gives many options for lessons to be taught. Very interactive. This would make a great storytelling book! 6y
cheyennewilliams Great pick! Children always enjoy these types of stories and the spooky theme is perfect for Halloween! I really like the the additional lesson plans you included. I think providing students with interactive lessons will help to further engage them in the classroom. 6y
