    There was an old woman
    who didn't like children,

    Who lived in a musty old,
    crusty old boot,

    Who had an old cat
    who didn't like kittens,

    Who didn't like anything
    little or cute.

    So when a family with FIVE boisterous children moves into the tumble-down shoe next door, the old woman will do anything to be rid of the pests. But her plan backfires, and soon she discovers a fate worse than children! NOW what will the old woman do?

    Jane Manning's lively pictures combine with Linda Smith's rollicking nursery rhyme in a book that will have children laughing out loud.
