Around the Neighborhood

Around the neighborhood,
inside a room full of sun,
lived a happy, laughing mother
and her little baby one.
“Play,” said the mother.
“I play,” said the one.
So they played and were glad
in the room full of sun.

The popular lullaby “Over in the Meadow” is reimagined in this fun counting book that visits the families in a neighborhood, including a mother and her child, a dog and his puppies, a spider and his spiderlings, and a mallard and her ducklings. Sarah L. Thomson’s lyrical text is paired with Jana Christy’s adorable artwork for a perfect bedtime treat.
