3.0 out of 5 stars This is not a Caldecott Honor book!! December 18, 2009
Format:Hardcover
When reading the other reviews for this product, make sure you disregard the ones that say they are reviews from the Caldecott Honor winning version. THAT IS NOT THIS BOOK. This one is illustrated by Pam Adams. The Caldecott-winning one was illustrated by Simms Taback, and even though Amazon lists his name on this entry he has nothing to do with this book. Just so you know. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Not all these reviews refer to this ISBN March 27, 2003
Format:Board book
This die cut board book is wonderful and
fun with preschoolers. But most of the reviews and
comments on this ISBN refer to a different
edition (ISBN 0859537277, by Simms Taback ). Be sure
to note the difference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Description Does Not Match This Board Book Edition December 1, 2005
Format:Board book
The description here for this board book sounds fun. But the description does not match the board book at all.

Specifically, this board book:

-- Does not have humorous asides.

-- Does not name different types of birds.

-- Does not have a recipe for spider soup.

-- Does not have rhyming asides from spectating animals.

-- Lady does not have toothy grin.

-- Lady does not have bloodshot eyes.

-- Does not have a gallery of flies.

Clearly, this board book is NOT a board book edition of the book described. Instead, it's a completely different book. All it has in common with the book described is that both books are based on the old children's rhyme "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly."

And, this board book is somewhat dull and unimaginative compared to the book described. Unfortunately there does not appear to be an actual board book edition of the book described.
