Over in the meadow... there lives a wonderful array of animals and their
young. This traditional folksong probably originated in the United
Kingdom in the sixteenth century. Over in the Meadow has not only
served as a song to teach counting and rhyming, it is also a delightful
introduction to the wonderful natural world that we share with our
animal friends. Now lavishly illustrated by Marissa Napoletano and
collected by John M. Feierabend, this song is sure to delight current
and future generations. The fully notated version of this song with all
the words is included at the end of this book, along with a detailed
history of the song. A beautiful take on a timeless story, this picture
book is another wonderful chapter in the continuing legacy of a
delightful, classic songtale.
