Last summer I feel in love with the books and artistry of John Butler. He is a gifted story-teller and illustrator of books for the very young. I reviewed Hush, Little Ones back in July (Read my review) and recently While You Were Sleeping (Read my review).
"Ten In the Den" is a large, hardcover picture book that takes young children through counting to ten. Butler has a delightful re-take on "there were 10 in the bed and the little one said, 'Roll over, Roll over." Each page is illustrated with...more

"Ten in the Den" is a very cute counting book that counts animals backwards from 10 to 1. Originally ten animals are cuddled up in a den getting ready to go to bed, but the mouse on the end cannot get comfortable and keeps telling everyone to roll over. Each time the mouse makes this demand, one animal rolls out of the den, down the hill to the tree. The book counts how many animals are in the den after each animal rolls out until the mouse is the only one left. The mouse is lonely with no frien...more
This book is for: PreK-1
Activity: Act out the story having students spin around and the last student leave the "bed" (line). Students would have fun participating in the story by saying "Roll over! Roll over!Slippy! Slidey! Bump!" Although the younger readers would not think "subtraction" they would get the idea that one animal is being removed from the group.
Reflection: I like that this book introduces the idea of subtraction in a fun way. The book is predictable with it's story line but cute...more

C who is now 2 1/3 had me read this book to him 4 times today! It was a hit. I love singing the song and then having the kids say "Bump" at the end as each animal rolls out of the den with a nice playful pair of rhyming words.
"Rabbit fell out. Flo[[etty, hoppetty, bump!"

In a den full of animals, the lil mouse is squished. He keeps asking his other animal friends to "roll over" so that he has some room. One by one they fall out of the den until the mouse is left alone. I like this book for it's funny rhyming words and the many different types of animals one could talk about with children pre-K thru 2nd grade.

A cute story for young children of ten animal friends sleeping in a den...the little mouse says "Roll over, roll over" and each rolls out, one by one until all are out...but its too lonely in the den! A great way to get children counting backwards from 10, and a different rendition of the story "Ten in the Bed"
Our storytime theme this week was nursery rhymes. This is a very cute book, though it didn't go as well as I thought it would. The illustrations are darling -- they ought to be overly precious, but somehow they aren't: I think it's the richness of the detail that saves them.
Starting at 10 in the den the little mouse keeps telling everyone to, "Roll over!" One by one the animals roll out of the den until just the mouse is left. Great way to review or begin a discusion about counting backwards with your Pre-K or Kindergarten class.
This is a version of the "They all roll over and one falls out..." song/story. It has a unique take on it because there are ten different animals, each of which is shown in turn rolling down a gentle hill to their own sound, "Slippy, Slidy, Bump!" for the beaver and "Roly, Poly, Bump!" for the mole. At the end the little mouse that asked them all to roll over is lonely, rolls down the hill and they all curl up and go to sleep under the night sky.

Very beginner book, ages two will love it. It's a counting book, but adds in animals. I have read many counting books and this one was one of my favorites. It makes you want to sing the words. Very cute pictures too.
Some of the illustrations freak me out a bit, same as Ten in the Meadow. The predictability of this cute book makes it a great read-aloud for kids 1-3.
The pictures in this book are really pretty and the story is a fun play off an old song. Loved it my daughter still has me "sing" the story to her.
Cute, soft illustrations and a nice rhythm for storytime.
My 3 year old loves this story. He likes to sing the words, it's one of his favorites.
Yawn.
I love reading this book for the toddlers. The pictures are so soft that I just want to snuggle with all the little animals. The text is pretty simple, and it's got enough repitition to give the kids a sense of what's about to happen.
Adorable illustrations! Fun to sing the song as you turn the pages to see each animal ejected from the den the roll and bump their way down the hill.
I totally enjoyed reading this book to my Daughter, who also loved....it was her first pick. I like to find books that are fun to sing with!
Another sweet book by John Butler. My kids (& I) enjoy the cute story line and he sweet illustrations.
very sing song with bright, warm pictures. my kids love it.
a fun one to sing
