"There was an old lady who swallowed a Fly" is a children's book I love. This woman is amazing, she can swallow anything and does. It is a very fun and interactive book that is also a felt story to do with the children. The original ending is a bit creepy and morbid because not sure why "perhaps she'll die" was chosen as the phrase to use. Some versions alter that ending. However, if we look back to some of our favorite nursery rhymes, they are the same. For example, "Rock a bye baby," and "London Bridges." My thoughts are, what were these people thinking? We sing them to our children anyway. LOL
I never read this book but it sounds like its fun for kids until the ending. I always wondered why we sing those nursery rhymes and the ending is not good lol. Some people change the ending which is the best thing to do.
