Over in the Meadow by John Langstaff

Hello!

Today's book review will be on Over in the Meadow

View Here: Over in the Meadow
This book is based on an old counting song.  It is a rhyming book (my favorite) that builds up in quantity page by page.  The first pages are about one animal of some sort and the build up to ten animals on the last pages. 

 I enjoyed reading this book to my daughter and exploring the patterns that it contained.  We quickly realized that the quantity was increasing by one with each page we turned.  We also made an accurate guess as to what number of animals we would encounter. It was ten of course.



I like the illustrations in this book and the little animals that are featured.  Between the illustrations and the sweet rhyming story, this is definitely a book that has that “Let’s read it again” quality.


I found this great video that can go along with this book. It really is meant for a different book called Over in the Meadow. The song is catchy and can go along with both rhyming story books!



Have a blessed day, and happy schooling!
