Over in the Meadow: A Counting Rhyme by Olive A Wadsworth, illustrated by Anna Vojtech

From chapters.ca:
"Over in the Meadow in the sand in the sun Lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one." So begins this classic nursery poem, written by Olive A Wadsworth in the late 19th century, a favorite counting rhyme for generations of children. Anna Vojtech's sweet illustrations depict a sun-drenched meadow filled with loving animal families - from mother turtle with her one baby to ten little beavers embraced by their doting mother. There are lots to count in the cleverly designed pictures, and sharp-eyed youngsters will delight in finding a corresponding number of background details on each spread.
