Book Synopsis

There was an old giant who swallowed a clock.
He had such a shock when he swallowed that clock!

But then he swallows his knitting to muffle the clock, and swallows some moths to munch through his knitting! Will he ever stop?

With a riotous rhyming text from Becky Davies (The Three Little Pugs and the Big Bad Cat and Old MacDino had a Farm) this hilarious retelling of the classic nursery rhyme, There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, is brought to life with peep-through pages and quirky illustrations from Elina Ellis.
