Can you guess why? <\/p>\n<p>Consistently topping the USA Today and Bookscan bestseller lists at holiday time, this evergreen Cartwheel series continues to surprise and delight. With a brand-new spin-off series that launched in Spring 2018 alongside this first original 32-page fully illustrated board book, our Old Lady is poised to soar to even greater heights in 2019!<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong><em>There was an old lady who swallowed a cake.

I have always enjoyed how much repetition takes place within these particular books. They make incredible beginner readers for children. As a mom that loves to read to her children, and hopes to turn them in to readers, these books are fantastic! <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/52650553_2248039505484530_1207746427132837888_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&#038;oh=20d19aae1bd83d4988a1f553ca798a74&#038;oe=5CEC9CDA\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this particular book the old lady swallows everything that is needed for a birthday party.

I also think that it would make a great story to read at a child&#8217;s birthday party as a time filler for little children. It can also make a great gift as well.
