5.0 out of 5 stars There were ten in the bed., June 15, 2000

This is a very good book for very all ages.

This can teach kids numbers, you could sing to this book. You can have props, and have the children act it out.

I am sorry that I didn't see the 1,000 max. Lord I can't begin to do that.

But I know from reading to children that they would love this book. The colors were great and they showed different kids of people.

Twenty-five years ago, I read this book to my son. Now I'm buying it for his two little boys. He and I both have vivid memories of this version. I can't believe I was able to find the same book where the children actually roll out of bed--one at a time.

I was reading a different version of this story tonight to my daughter and instantly went back in time to this very book. I just had to look it up online and this version is the one. My mother read it to me as a child 25 years ago. I LOVED it!! As you can see, 25 years later and I remember it as one of my favorites. I'm going to purchase it now for my own children. GREAT BOOK!
