Description
A quintessentially Canadian take on the old lady who swallows everything!
There was an old lady who swallowed a puck.
What rotten luck! She swallowed a puck.
And now it's stuck.
So down goes a goalie to save the puck, followed by a mask, two gloves, a stick, a net, the rink, some fans, the Cup, a ref, and some players. Soon, the old lady’s belly is swaying and shaking with the hockey game she’s just swallowed!The rhyming text, over-the-top silliness, and hockey action will make this book a favourite to be read aloud again and again.

Editorial Reviews
Praise for Stella Partheniou Grasso:
“Kids don’t have to be hockey fans to enjoy the bouncing rhythm of this counting book . . . [Over at the Rink] will have little Crosby wannabes chanting along as the book is read aloud.” — (Over at the Rink: A Hockey Counting Book) Quill & Quire
“This cheerful counting book, written to the melody of ‘Over in the Meadow,’ celebrates all the best things about hockey.” — (Over at the Rink: A Hockey Counting Book) CBC Parents
“I was impressed by the author’s ability to both rhyme to the tune of “The Night Before Christmas” and give readers an accurate play-by-play of the closely matched hockey game. Canadian sportscaster Joe Bowen would be proud!” — (The Night Before Playoffs) CM: Canadian Review of Materials
