I read the book "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell" and I found the book to be very fun and fast paced. It was definitely a very easy read for children, but it was a reading that would be fun to read between the parent and child due to the fact that there are many different opportunities to interact with one another during the story. The illustrations in the book seem very detailed because of the strokes used, and the water colors give the pictures more depth. This book is very similar to "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" and it had the same ending, which was that the old lady ended up emptying all the things she had consumed in order to fit one last thing into her stomach. The book was probably intended for children in lower elementary grades.
