About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when looking for a gentle, calming bedtime story that also introduces early counting skills. Based on the classic rhyme "Over in the Meadow," this book takes young readers on a quiet journey through a forest hollow, counting different animal families from one to ten. Each page features a mother animal and her babies engaging in a sweet, natural activity, like owlets hooting or beaver kits building. The lyrical text and warm themes of family love and nature's wonder make it a perfect choice for toddlers and preschoolers. It beautifully combines learning with a sense of security and peace, making it a wonderful addition to a wind-down routine.
