An Earth Day twist on a familiar rhyme

Lucille Colandro brings the Old Lady back for a playful Earth Day variation on the classic cumulative song. The sequence begins with a worm, then adds dirt, a flower, a bee, a bird, and more, building its humor through the growing list of things she swallows. The familiar rhyme structure gives the book a clear connection to the wider Old Lady series, while its nature-themed ingredients set this installment apart. It offers a light, song-inspired way to bring Earth Day imagery into a read-aloud or a look through the series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture-book stories.
  • Families and educators seeking an Earth Day-themed book to share.
  • Readers familiar with the There Was an Old Lady series.
