Over in the Meadow (Wadsworth)

Olive A. Wadsworth's beloved nursery rhyme "Over in the Meadow" is brought to beautiful life with illustrations by Anna Vojtech. In this edition of the favorite counting rhyme, the colorful pictures first portray the various animals who live in the meadow, followed by depictions that pair with each sequential rhyme of mother animals with their babies, from mother turtle with her one baby to ten sleepy little beavers tenderly embraced by their mother. A superb story-time book for preschool to grade 3, the older readers will delight in finding a corresponding number of other animals or objects in each picture.
This version of Over in the Meadow is used in Jill Trinka's Bass Hall Children's Concert DVD (item 853103).
