Summary:
"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" presents the traditional version of a famous American folk poem first heard in the U.S. in the 1940's. Pete Seeger's favorite American folksong, "The foolish frog", about a vain bullfrog, will have everyone singing along. In "Chicka chicka 1, 2, 3" one hundres and one numbers race each other up the apple tree. Suddenly bumblebees come buzzing. Which number will save the day? The adaptation of "He's got the whole world in his hands", a beloved folk song, creates a dazzling, intimate interpretation that rejoices in the connectedness of people and nature.
