Illustrated by
Patrick Girouard.
Taking off from the famous old lady's predicament, this book describes the digestive process in verse that quickly loses its rhythm. Accompanying prose explains very basic physiology and anatomy. Bright, full-page cartoons follow the increasingly distressed (and digested) fly to the final flush. Two pages of questions add quirky trivia.
