PreS—"There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Chick! …But she didn't get sick!" So begins this cumulative rhyme based on the classic children's song. In this jaunty version, the chick is followed by straw, an egg, candy, a basket, and a bow…and a meeting with the Easter Bunny.—Daryl Grabarek, School Library Journal
