Title: Disappointing
Review: As a huge fan of Catrow's illustrations, I really looked forward to showing this book to my son. And the pictures were great, which is the only thing that saved this book from a one-star review. The text is awful. Many of the verses don't rhyme, and they don't follow the meter of the original "I Know An Old Lady..." properly so reading this out loud is very awkward. The "reasons" for swallowing everything are boring and the ending - why she wanted the bat in the first place - is a big letdown. If you like Catrow's pictures as much as we do, this is worth a look through. But as a funny poem it fails miserably.
