Allen & Unwin I Saw Anaconda book English Hardcover 24 pages

A hilarious retelling of The Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly - with flaps and a pop-up!

This romping, rhyming novelty book is full of odd animals and yucky flap reveals. One little boy watches as ALL SORTS of animals are swallowed up by a very hungry anaconda. But if that anaconda swallows a boy, an alligator, a stork, a piranha, a frog, a skink AND a tick, the question is... will she be sick? (Spoiler alert - yes!)
