Roll Over!

This is a new version of a classic nursery rhyme. In this edition, ten very different animal friends join a little boy in his bed. In this one, the little one in the bed does tell them all to roll over, and one falls out. But the tale is told in a different, charming way, and all the animals add to story.

The adorable illustrations done by the author bring everything to life, and the ending is unexpected, adding a nice twist to the rhyme.

This is the thirty-five-year anniversary of this well-loved, five-star book. It is a nicely done board book ready for a whole new generation of children to discover it! Children through four years old will enjoy this.

Thank you, Candlewick Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
