Over in the meadow there's a spring wedding, with the couple's 10 best friends to celebrate. What's next?
A house!
9 diggers,
8 masons,
7 carpenters,
6 well diggers,
5 roofers,
4 plumbers,
3 electricians,
2 painters, and
1 inspector
show up with all their trucks and tools to build a new house. And when the couple and their friends have a house-warming party, a new baby comes, too!
Inspired by Olive A. Wadsworth's old counting poem, Shutta Crum's exuberant rhyme celebrates the fun of counting, the excitement of building a house, and the satisfaction of sharing work.
