In this variation on "Over in the Meadow," a little dragon and its mother prepare a surprise for a medieval castle's inhabitants. The textured acrylic, oil, and gel illustrations include many humorous details. With its ready-to-count items--from one baby dragon to ten jesters--and lilting rhymes, the book is well suited to both group and individual read-alouds.
