Product ReviewsI Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello by Barbara S. Garriel (2004, Hardcover)

A great book for kids of music lovers!

This darling book is a take on "I Know and Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". In it, the shy fellow swallows a series of instruments, and music comes bellowing out of him. After swalllowing some remarkably large instruments, he swallows the tiniest of bells and soon all the instruments come tumbling out. (Luckily, he doesn't die a gruesome death like the old lady in the previous version.)

The book has some interesting artwork, and it is a funny take on the familiar song. It makes a great book for kids of musicians.Read full review...

This book is adorable and the pictures are fantastic!

I teach cello, so it caught me from just the title. But I am now very glad I bought it. It is an adorable book that anyone would enjoy that loves the instuments.
