We all know that “there was an old lady” who swallowed lots of things. Now meet the old dragon who swallows pretty much an entire kingdom! Will he ever learn a little moderation?! This rollicking rhyme is full to bursting with sight gags, silly characters, and plenty of burps! Parents and kids alike will delight in Ben Mantle’s precisely funny illustrations and in Penny Parker Klostermann’s wacky rhymes.

"Klostermann's debut is a rollicking and warped Medieval take on the well-worn cumulative rhyme. Prolific British animator and illustrator Mantle's expressive and bright cartoon illustrations of the red, horned dragon (and the contents of his stomach) are a perfect match. . . . No matter how many swallowed-fly titles you own, this one belongs on your shelf too." - Kirkus
Penny Parker Klostermann is the author of There Was an Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight and A Cooked-Up Fairy Tale. She is a member of SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and was named the 2012 Barbara Karlin Grant Runner-up. Penny grew up in Colorado and now lives in Abilene, Texas.

Ben Mantle was born in Leamington Spa, England, and developed a very early interest in all things artistic and festive, even winning his local library’s coloring competition as a seven-year-old. From there he went on to study animation at the Surrey Institute of Art & Design. Ben then joined the crew of Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride and now works as an illustrator and animator from his seaside base in Brighton. He is still perennially excited about the holidays and wishes it would snow every day of the year. View titles by Ben Mantle
