I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, by Mary Ann Hoberman

She does die at the end, but children seem to just love the bizarre and outrageous way it all unfolds. There is also a guide at the back of the book that lists several topics for discussion. Boys and girls alike are fascinated with the idea of this silly old lady and what she swallows.
