Summary

More
It all starts when the old lady—star of previous books by Lucille Colandro—swallows a chick. Of course, that chick needs some warm straw, which the old lady promptly swallows. One thing leads to another, and she gulps down an egg, some candy (hey, it might come in handy), a brightly colored basket, and a bow. Put together, what could all these items make? Kids will be calling out with excitement, guessing what's coming next!
