About This Book
"I Know an Old Teacher" is a delightful and humorous picture book that cleverly adapts the classic "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" rhyme. In this version, a teacher accidentally swallows a flea, leading to a comical chain of events where she swallows various classroom pets to catch the previous one. The repetitive, cumulative structure makes it highly engaging for young listeners, while the absurd premise guarantees plenty of laughs. It's a fantastic read-aloud for ages 4-8, perfect for sparking joy and introducing the fun of rhyming stories.
