Roll Over!: A Counting Song by Merle Peek, (Ill ). Peek, Merle Peek (Illustrator)

From the Publisher

Ten sleepy animals fall, one by one, out of a little boy's overcrowded bed in this picture book version of a favorite counting song.

"A pleasant way to count backwards; good for young groups and for singing at bedtime."

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Merle Peek's Roll Over! A Counting Song (HM, 1981) will have little ones counting backwards in no time. A young boy is tucked in bed, but his nine animal companions are making sleep difficult. Beginning readers will enjoy a twist on the theme of falling out of bed-each of the animals finds a cozy spot somewhere in the bedroom. Her book illustrations are a gentle wash of blue and gold that perfectly capture the nighttime merriment. Young children will sing along with this happy book and tape. They will be delighted with the spoken as well as the sung version on the tape, both of which feature children's voices. It's perfect for small group listening centers, whole class sing-alongs, or one-on-one.-Emily Herman, Emma Hutchinson Elementary School, Atlanta, GA Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
