Around the Neighborhood: A Counting Lullaby

(3) PS Illustrated by Jana Christy. Thomson's counting story, as stated in the back matter, is a modernized rendition of the poem "Over in the Meadow." This version features animals more commonly found in suburban neighborhoods (crows, ladybugs, cats, dogs) rather than those seen in John Langstaff's classic picture-book adaptation (foxes, beavers, bullfrogs). Christy's soft, colorful digital illustrations complement the soothing tone of the gentle lullaby. Musical notes included.
