Based on the rhythm of the folk song “Over in the Meadow,” author Marianne Berkes’s latest counting book in rhyme presents various forest animals and their offspring, from a mother beaver and her “little kit one” to a father red fox and his “little kits ten,” including a shy mother ‘possum and “her little joeys three,” all beautifully portrayed by Jull Dubin’s cut-paper illustrations.

Habitats of Georgia and the animals that live there.
It’s a book that combines math and science in a fun rhythmical way. An enjoyable book to introduce different habitats. It allows the student a look inside a forest and the animals that live there. A great book for students to relate to because many of the animals mentioned in the story can be seen in their own backyard.

Set to the tune of "Over in the Meadow" the forest animals are portrayed doing what they actually do in the forest. Beautiful collage illustrations with wonderful additional information at the end including facts about the animals, tips from the author about observing nature and illustrating, music to "Over in the Meadow," and internet resources. A well presented book.
This counting book has pretty, realistic illustrations and some nice additional information about the animals at the end. It also has hidden elements on each page for the reader to discover.

A variation on the song "Over in the Meadow," the engaging text introduces readers to a variety of forest animals. Lovely cut paper illustrations.
Cute artwork along with counting, hidden pictures, and naming the baby animals.
You could sing this book to "Down in the Meadow." Fun!
Loved this wonderful book!
