Summary- This is a simple beginners book on how to count. It is also considered a toy book. When you first open the book there are ten little kids all laying in a bed. You sing a song about all the kid rolling over and one by one the kids fall out of bed. You move a dial on the side on the book that actually makes a kid disappear from the bed. Its very catchy with its rhythm and repetition.
Extension Activity- Have the class act out the book to the song. There is a recording of the song that you can play. Set up ten chairs in a line and have the kids sit on them and as the song plays slowly one rolls of the end chair till no one is left on the chairs.
