Over in the Meadowin the sand in the sunLived an old mother turtleand 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. | Over in the Meadow by Olive A Wadsworth, Picture Books | Indigo Chapters
