I loved singing the song, "There Was an old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" when I was a kid, so naturally it's something I sing often to my two kids. This toy makes it all so much more fun! The kids love singing the song over and over, and when their friends come over they always want to play with it.

Everything is very well-made, except our bird's wings fell off. Luckily, they were easy to sew back on. That is the only problem we've had with this product, and it gets a lot of use.

I finally broke down and bought my own "Old Lady" after fighting many other teachers and speech therapists for one that we share at school. I'm a preschool teacher and the kids LOVE all the silly Old Lady books. As noted by another reviewer, this doll does not come with any of the books. You will need to purchase those separately. It does come with the pieces for the Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. For those of you who are using this at a school (or for that matter, even for those of you who are not), I just stumbled upon a great web site makinglearningfun.com that has printables for 5 of these books. Just print them out, laminate them, and watch the kids have fun and learn while feeding the Old Lady items from the story. In fact, it was after finding this website that I felt it would now be worth my money to buy the Old Lady because I will be able to use it multiple times through the year. The only thing I wish this had - some "Old Lady's" have a plastic part to their stomach so the kids can see what is inside. This doll does not have that, but was also about 40 dollars cheaper then the only one I found that did have it.
