Ten in the Den

Baby loves John butler illustrated books

This book is absolutely terrific! Ten adorable & different baby animals are all sleeping in a den when a small little mouse says " Roll over". Each little animal rolls over and out of the soft den to the bottom of a hill under a shady tree until the little mouse is all alone and rolls her or himself down the hill to be with her/his sleeping friends.What is also nice is that as each animal rolls down the hill they do so in ryhme. We are also starting to learn Chinese so we are also counting in Chinese as each animal rolls to the bottom.I don't know how John Butler does it but the baby animals he draws look so soft and fluffy that you can't help but each out and touch the animals hoping to feel each and every adorable animal! and you just can't beat a book that can be either read or sung AND reinforces counting from 10 to 1! Definately worthy of being a 10* book!

I bought this for my classroom. And I am so excited to read this to my kids

I love these books! They are so cute and the drawings are darling! My son is almost 2 but we've been reading them to him for about 6 months and he loves them. He picks these books far more than any others he has. I plan on getting some more for baby shower or first birthday gifts.

I will admit when I read this book for the first time I thought how dumb, I then had to read it over and over again for a few days, then the next thing I knew My one year old would sing the roll over, roll over, then she would do the bump thing. It is my favorite now. My youngest is so cute when we read it and we end up saying it when we are just doing random things. I'm so glad I bought this book it has brought a truely unreplaceable memory.

I first borrowed a copy of this book from the library. We loved it so much I purchased a copy. The illustrations are very cute ans fun! My granddaughter lines up her own stuffed animals and rolls them off the bed as we read each page.

It's an adorable book.

I love this book but more importantly the students really attend to the adorable baby animals.

We really loved the rhyming text of this story. It introduced the children to new words such as porcupine, and beaver. Lovely illustrations. The children counted the animals from ten to one. A firm favourite, we read it repeatedly. Good condition book.

This is a charming book with delightful illustrations by the author. Literacy, numeracy and an old nursery rhyme all merge seamlessly into one very entertaining book. My class of 4/5 years olds pleaded that I read it again. They read and sang and actioned along so loudly I couldn't hear myself!! So why don't you "squiggly, wiggly, bump!" into a copy for yourself.
