Description
By: Merle Peek
"Illustrated editions of single songs provide toddlers with a delightful introduction to books. The artist features soft blues, candlelight golds, and shadowed browns to create a nighttime mood in which a young child shares his bed with 9 friendly animals. Beginning with the number 10, one after the other tumbles to the floor as the counting rhyme works backward until the child is "alone at last". . . Peek's colors and spacing are nicely rendered. Music is appended." - ALA Booklist
