I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

Built around the children’s classic “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,” this collection also gathers simple, singable songs about numbers, letters and comical animal characters. The material draws on children’s songs written more than 50 years ago, connecting a well-known sing-along with older musical traditions. Thomas Hellman and Emilie Clepper perform the songs in roots-inspired arrangements. The book’s description presents it as a music-centered collection, with the familiar title song serving as an entry point to a broader assortment of children’s tunes.
