Description
Over in the Meadow in the sand in the sun Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one.
So begins this classic nursery poem, written by Olive A Wadsworth in the late 19th century, a favorite counting rhyme for generations of children. Anna Vojtech's sweet illustrations depict a sun-drenched meadow filled with loving animal families-from mother turtle with her one baby to ten little beavers embraced by their doting mother. There are lots to count in the cleverly designed pictures, and sharp-eyed youngsters will delight in finding a corresponding number of background details on each spread.

"[With an] appealing and energetic landscape of boldly applied colors, learning to count is as easy as one, two, three."-- "Publishers Weekly"
