I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie
by Alison Jackson, illustrated by Judith Byron Schachner
Ages 4-7, 32 pages
Humorous
This book is similar to I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly as she continues to eat more and more. It begins with an old lady who ate a Thanksgiving pie that was really too dry. She then drinks cider to moisten the dry pie. The humorous tale continues as she eats squash, a whole turkey, an entire cake, but what puts her over the top is some bread. The old lady becomes so huge at the end that she’s in a Thanksgiving parade. It’s a fun book that I’m sure most will get a laugh at. Perhaps you’ll think twice before going up for seconds.
I think I’d rather swallow a pie than a fly!
Yes, all the food would have me sick.
Thanks for stopping by.
Boy, will this ever give me second thoughts about going for seconds on Thanksgiving Day.
Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much. Perhaps just take smaller second portions.
Thanks for your comment.
The old lady who swallowed a fly is one of my favourite stories, I’ll be sure to look for this one too!
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this book if you already like the fly version. Thanks for stopping by.
What a lovely review! Makes me hungry for a big Thanksgiving meal but also slightly nervy about getting second or third helpings… hmmmm
All the Thanksgiving food talk sure does get my mouth watering too.
Just make the second or third helpings small. 
Thanks for stopping by.
