Yippee-o-ki-yee! Skinny ol' Coyote gobbles his way through a southwestern twist on the classic cumulative rhyme, swallowing a flea, a bird, a bull, a chile, and even a whole cactus. Zany illustrations by Steve Gray make it a rollicking read-aloud for ages 4 to 8.
There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea - Book
$15.95
Jennifer Ward gives the old cumulative rhyme a Southwestern makeover in There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea, illustrated by Steve Gray and published by Rising Moon in 2007. Skinny ol' Coyote starts with a tickly flea plucked from his knee, then works his way up to a bird, a bull, a chile and even a whole cactus, with a "Yippee-o-ki-yee!" refrain along the way.
The repetition invites young listeners to chime in, and Gray's zany art keeps the growing absurdity front and center. This 32-page hardcover picture book is a lively read-aloud for preschool and early elementary audiences.
