The New York Times<br><br> '10 in the bed/and the little one said: /Roll Over/ Roll Over! / They all rolled over/ and one fell out.' One verse per page is illustrated with whimsical animals and a little boy. The animals are lively and curl up around the room after falling out of the bed. On the last page it turns out they were fantasies from the room's border. Dreamy pastel illustrations are in blue and gold with a clever but not busy detail. A pleasant way to count backwards, good for young groups and for singing at bedtime. School Library Journal Works as a whimsical, energetic bedtime story.
