This gorgeous bedtime story inspired by "Over in the Meadow" will lull readers to sleep as they count the members of a series of animal families.

As nighttime approaches, animal parents and their children are settling down. A monkey makes a bed for her two babies, and a leopard tucks in her three little ones. By the time readers arrive at the stunning gatefold illustration at the end of the story, a herd of ten elephant babies is nodding off, and silence finally settles over the jungle.

John Butler's richly illustrated rhyming story will soothe and comfort readers of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable book to read aloud; Beautiful illustrations.

I find this to be a very enjoyable book to read aloud to my 1.5 year old. The illustrations are really outstanding. Great for counting and bedtime reading. A real favorite of mine...borrowed it from the library and had to buy one to keep. Not sure my daughter is "into it" as much as I am. One of the pages in the back flaps and it gets bent when my daughter flips through it on her own.

After checking this book out from the library, I decided to buy it for my 3 & 6 year olds for Christmas. Upon receiving it, my 3 year old hugged it and joyfully proclaimed "I LOVE THIS BOOK" at the top of his lungs.

Sung to the tune of "Over in the Meadow", it shows various beautifully illustrated jungle animals and their babies. It's a nice book to help the kiddos wind down for bedtime. (And it helps teach numbers and jungle animals, so that's a bonus!)

The book has a cute counting story. However, it has a whole bunch of animals that don't actually live in the jungle.
