Presents a variation on the classic rhyme about an old lady who swallowed some leaves and a series of other strange items before encountering a large surprise.

That wild old lady is back swallowing fall-themed items. What can you make from leaves, clothes, a pumpkin, and rope? That's right, a scarecrow!.

The accidental ingestion of a fly leads an old lady to swallow larger and larger animals, ending with a horse that causes her ultimate demise.

There was a cold lady who swallowed many different things, one after the other, but what happens after she swallows snow? Modeled on the folk song: There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.

An old lady swallows a bell, gifts, a sack, a sleigh, and even some reindeer; and when she is about to consume a candy cane, she hears Santa Claus and whistles, causing all the objects to do something extraordinary.

An old woman swallows a series of Halloween-themed animals, hoping each new animal will keep the previous one she swallowed quiet. Includes an audio CD with a story narration, music, and sound effects.

Contains four winter-themed stories, including "The Littlest Pumpkin," in which Halloween is almost ruined for one little pumpkin when he is left alone at Bartlett's Farm Stand; "The Biggest, Best Snowman," in which Nell, too small for most things, builds a grand snowman; the classic rhyme "The Night Before Christmas"; and "There Was a Cold Lady who Swallowed Some Snow," a winter twist on an old favorite.

In this variation on the traditional cumulative rhyme, a woman swallows a shell, a crab, a fish, a gull, a pail, some sand, and a wave.
