Old lady...

I saw the book at a meeting and thought it was quite clever, but held off on purchase for my k-5 school because I had purchased some newly illustrated versions of the song in the past few years and wondered if I needed 5 versions. There is one by Glen Rounds that was done not too long ago. By the way, Orvis has the lady with all the animals that can be place in her mouth.

It seems to me that publishing does this frequently - puts out several versions of the same story in a two year period, or all of a sudden we get a rash of books about the same theme. How does this happen? I don't think it is my imagination.
