"Fine, humorous version of an extremely popular tale." --School Library Journal
In this retelling of the classic nursery rhyme There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly, a hapless Cajun accidentally swallows a gnat. "Why he did dat?" So he swallows a mosquito, then a newt . . . until there are lots of swamp creatures inside that old Cajun. When he tries to swallow an alligator, he gets a big surprise! Children will love Deborah Ousley Kadair's imaginative, collage-style illustrations. She uses pebbles, Spanish moss, and other authentic Louisiana ingredients to bring the old Cajun's story to life.
Author and illustrator Deborah Ousley Kadair was inspired to write this book when her husband, who really is a Cajun, swallowed a gnat. Trained in the Montessori teaching method, Kadair conducts storytelling workshops for children. She is the author and illustrator of Grandma's Gumbo, I Spy in the Texas Sky, and I Spy in the Louisiana Sky. She has also lent her popular artwork to other Pelican authors. Kadair and her family reside in Georgetown, Texas.
