Over in the Meadow
by
Jane Cabrera
A well-loved song is the basis for this spirited counting poem. Beginning with one small turtle and working up to ten twitching rabbits, this book introduces the numbers one through ten. Vibrant pages teeming with brilliantly colored hopping frogs, wiggly worms, and other animated creatures are sure to inspire young children to count the critters again and again.

I have done other versions of this classic song/poem before for Spanish and bilingual story time programs. I am using this version for a tortoise and turtle-themed story time program at the Modesto Junior College (MJC) Great Valley Museum. I like this version because it is colorful. Some of the illustrations are strange for me(i.e., the tails and fur of the family of rats), but I think they would appeal to small children.
Update: It was a little long for the MJC Great Valley program, but it work...more

A picture book version of the well-loved children's song that uses animals and rhyming text to introduces the numbers 1-10.
I love the texture of Cabrera's paintings. This book made me long to touch some of her illustrations, especially the beehive and the rats!
Great read aloud for preschoolers.

There are more beautifully illustrated versions of this, but my son liked these fun pictures and the obvious numbers it shows on each page. By the way, you have to SING this book - so if you don't know the song, you'd better learn it. It's adorable.
Fun counting book with animal characters and rhyming patterns. Maisie always wiggles along when the mama worm tells her babies to wiggle.
My dad used to sing this to us but i had forgotten the words. Glad to be reminded and to share with the magpie.
Mother & baby animals make noises in this rhyming tale based on the popular song.
The only bummer with this book is that seven rhymes with heaven...and I usually avoid any such references in storytime. Fun to use to count to five though!
very fun, catchy ryhming book. the artistry is beautiful. I really love this book. On my 'to buy' list.
rhyme with counting and animals; colorful
