Book
Over in the meadow : a traditional counting rhyme / adapted & illustrated by Jan Thornhill.
"Thornhill has created a magical, imaginary world made up of everyday objects: a forest of broccoli, a beaver dam of pretzels, a dragonfly with paperclip wings. Not only will they learn about counting, rhyming and animals, kids will also revel in picking out recognizable everyday objects used in new ways throughout the illustrations. Thornhill's original lettering includes clever rebus elements, motivating beginning readers."-- from publisher.

Presents the traditional southern Appalachian counting rhyme with illustrations built out of common, everyday objects including fruits, leaves, cutlery, and pretzels. - Perseus PublishingFor more than 100 years, Over in the Meadow — a traditional southern Appalachian counting rhyme — has been a joyous introduction for young children to counting, rhyming, and nature. In this lyrical book, readers will meet ten different meadow-dwelling mother animals and their babies, brought to life by Jan Thornhill in an ingenious way. Thornhill uses everyday objects to construct this imaginary meadow: a beaver's dam is built of pretzels, a dragonfly flits with paperclip wings, and fish shimmer with coins for scales. Children will enjoy identifying these familiar objects — a "Where is It?" guide is included at the back of the book — as much as they will enjoy the sing-song cadence of this rhyme. Plus, hand-drawn text incorporates rebus elements to help even the youngest readers follow along.
