This vibrant board book by award-winning author Jane Cabrera seamlessly blends counting from one to ten with a refreshing new twist on a familiar nursery rhyme. There are ten cuddly animals snuggled into bed, but the littlest mouse is demanding more room. However, this time it's not just anyone rolling over and falling out of bed; it's a cook, then a trumpeter, then a pirate, then a doctor, and more! "Cabrera's bright palette and playful energy capture the whimsy of this favorite childhood nursery rhyme," according to Booklist in a review of the picture book edition.Children's LiteratureIt is time for bed, but there is no room for a tired and sleepy Little One. The bed, as large as it is, is filled with nine whimsical creatures. So, as the words to this familiar children's song go, the Little One says, "Move over, move over?" One by one the duck, the alligator, the monkey, the bunny, the bear, and all the other animals sway, bounce, dance, groan, and float out of bed. And when they have all fallen out, they dance about until the Little One screams and gives a big shout. "Settle down now. Settle down now!" And finally, they are all sound asleep without a peep until the Little One says, "Good night." An energetic retelling of an old nursery rhyme brought to life by an eclectic collection of stuffed animals pretending to be a doctor, a pirate, a trumpeter, a ballerina, a cook, a pilot, a princess, and an astronaut. Colorful childlike full-page illustrations bring this story to boisterous life. Reissued this year in board book format. Reviewer: Anita Barnes Lowen
