This book is absolutely terrific! Ten adorable & different baby animals are all sleeping in a den when a small little mouse says " Roll over". Each little animal rolls over and out of the soft den to the bottom of a hill under a shady tree until the little mouse is all alone and rolls her or himself down the hill to be with her/his sleeping friends.What is also nice is that as each animal rolls down the hill they do so in ryhme. We are also starting to learn Chinese so we are also counting in Chinese as each animal rolls to the bottom.

I don't know how John Butler does it but the baby animals he draws look so soft and fluffy that you can't help but each out and touch the animals hoping to feel each and every adorable animal! and you just can't beat a book that can be either read or sung AND reinforces counting from 10 to 1! Definately worthy of being a 10* book!

I wish this author, John Butler, had been around when I was a toddler. What fun it would have been to learn my numbers with these fun-loving animals. Beautiful art, too.
Your youngster will love it!

I will admit when I read this book for the first time I thought how dumb, I then had to read it over and over again for a few days, then the next thing I knew My one year old would sing the roll over, roll over, then she would do the bump thing. It is my favorite now. My youngest is so cute when we read it and we end up saying it when we are just doing random things. I'm so glad I bought this book it has brought a truely unreplaceable memory.

We enjoy many of John Butler's books. I like that he uses different animals in the books. This book is good, we love "Can You Cuddle like a Koala?" and "Can You Growl Like a Bear?"

My not-quite-four-year-old loves to be read to before she goes to bed, and this book is one of her favorites. Using large and colorful pictures, the book tells the story of ten baby animals in the den. Each time the baby mouse says, "Roll over! Roll over!" one of the baby animals tumbles out of the den, and down the hill. Finally, the little mouse, missing its friends joins them under a tree, and they all go to sleep together.

My little one loves this book - loves the cartoon baby animals, loves saying the "Roll over" lines together with me, and yells, "Bump!" as each one reaches the bottom. Yep, this is an excellent book for a little reader. We give it two thumbs up!

We found this book at the library and have since purchased it. My preschooler loves this book because it can be sung (I think the original song is 10 in a bed and the little one says roll over). In this book it's the 10 animals with the little mouse telling each one to roll over and they roll out of the den. It's also a great bedtime book because it ends with all the animals falling asleep.
The illustrations are absolutely adorable. Each animal is done so well they really look so fluffy and huggable. I am definitely going to purchase this book for gifts especially for children in the 2 to 4 year old range. We read a lot of books at our house but is one of my very favorites!

This was a favorite book of my Grandson, so I purchased it for my 2 1/2 year old Grand daughter for Christmas and I know she will Love it. I love the beautiful John Butler illustrations and the story is so cute. No child could resist.
