Hannah ★★★★★

My toddler was absolutely captivated by the die-cut pages that show the old lady's stomach filling up with each animal. It's a clever twist on the classic song that keeps him giggling and pointing at every new hole.

Matthew S. ★★★★★

The die-cut pages are such a fun surprise—my kids love seeing the animals piling up inside the old lady’s stomach. It turns a silly song into an interactive adventure we sing along to every night.

Emma Z. ★★★★☆

The die-cut pages are a clever way to show what's happening inside her stomach, and my toddler loves peeking through each hole. I just wish the book was a bit sturdier, as the thin cardboard has already started to show wear.
