This rhyming counting book, an adaptation of "Over in the Meadow," takes readers on a safari through the African plains where mothers encourage their young ones--from one baby rhino to ten young monkeys--to eat, play, swim, or sleep. There are plenty of opportunities for counting since the babies are first shown alone, then in action with their mother on the facing page in bold, textured paintings.
