was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea by Jennifer Ward.
Set in the desert, this comical cartoon Coyote first swallows
a tickly flea, and then, true to the traditional folksong pattern,
has to swallow a lizard, a rattle snake, a bird (roadrunner,
of course), two desert plants, a couple of cowboy items, a bull,
and one more unbelievable thing. Can you guess what it is?
