For fans of the classic children’s folk song comes this zany tune followed by 11 singalong songs. The children’s classic “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,” for which singer-songwriter Alan Mills is best known, introduces us to a quirky old lady who swallows a heap of animals ―from a dog, cat, bird, and spider, to that infamous little fly― only to meet an untimely demise. A potpourri of singalong alphabet, counting, and rhyming songs with contagious and danceable rhythms follows this timeless tale. On the accompanying CD, singers Thomas Hellman and Emilie Clepper breathe new life into old traditions, performing rootsy renditions of catchy songs written for children over 50 years ago.
