review 1: I love Jill Dubin's cut paper colleges used to illustrate the book. They have dimension,wonderful color, and happily take up most of the page space. The text, which only takes about a fourth of the spread, is found to the side. It names the animal and it's babies name (in italic). Plus the number word is in a different color along with the number itself at the bottom. All of it follows the rhythm of "Over in the Meadow". Two wonderful additions to this version are a map on each page showing a major United States river and a hidden animal. I read the story and then went back to look for the animal. If you aren't sure what to look for check the informational pages at the end for help. This is a story meant to be read several times: read, count, ... morelook.
review 2: Lots going on in this deceptive format of a picture book. Well there is counting for the younger ages as well as good paper collage illustrations. There is for primary students info about rivers in the US as well as the terms used for the young of each of the species presented. Then for older students as well as teachers and parents is additional info about the rivers and animals. And the info is presented in song form based on Over in in the Meadow. The reader definitely needs to pay attention when reading this one. less
