A playful picture book retelling of the classic cumulative rhyme, set in the Pacific Northwest. An old lady swallows a trout, a seal, a salmon, an otter, a walrus, and more, in rhythmic, humorous verse. Bold illustrations, repetition, surprise, and regional wildlife make it especially engaging for read-aloud sessions.
