Ten sleepy animals fall, one by one, out of a little boy's overcrowded bed in this picture book version of a favorite counting song.

A gentle bedtime counting book that littlest ones will enjoy.

"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." (ALA Booklist)
