Ten in the den

Deep in the den, ten sleepy, cuddly animals snuggle up together for the night. But as the animal friends roll over to make more room, one animal after another gently tumbles out of the cozy den - until Little Mouse is left all alone. But Little Mouse misses his friends, so he comes up with the perfect solution to his problem. John Butler's version of a children's countdown to bedtime features a simple, playful text and soft, pastel-colored illustrations of fluffy, bright-eyed baby animals. The result is a read-aloud story that will invite delighted responses from young children.
