Illustrated by
Eric Rohmann.
For her cumulative tale about animals falling into a hole, Fleming adopts a dancing cadence, punctuates each verse with a chime-in phrase, and concludes each with "Oh, No!" After "Frog fell into a deep, deep hole," so go four more, until Tiger--lurking nearby--threatens to "help [them] out." Propelling the comic action, Rohmann's energetic relief prints show the animals' tumbles from different perspectives.
