A fund and cute children's book that puts a whimsical spin on a classic rhyme. The book takes readers on a charming journey with an old woman who, rather than swallowing a fly, decides to follow a spy. The clever twist on the original nursery rhyme adds a layer of intrigue and adventure, making it an engaging read for both children and those who enjoy sharing stories with them. With its creative approach and lively storytelling, this book is a delightful addition to any children's library, sparking imagination and laughter in equal measure.

This book is a family affair that oozes creativity and fun. The illustrations are like a burst of confetti, and the story? It's like a rollercoaster for your imagination. If you want bedtime stories that are more exciting than a unicorn riding a skateboard, There was an Old Woman who Followed a Spy is your ticket to bedtime glory. So, grab your spy gear and get ready for a tale that'll leave your little ones begging for just one more story (or ten)!
This is an adorable new spin on the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. This version of the story is great for parents and child who like mysteries or spy books/movies. We follow the Old Lady as she follow the spy by becoming a spy herself. I also like how the author gives the reader an opportunity to create their own ending. This is a great way to encourage/foster the love of reading, writing, and critical thinking.
All thoughts and opinions are my own, I have not been influenced by anyone.
