Annotation: Youngsters can sing, clap, and count their way among enchanting rainforest animals to the rhythm of the whimsical favorite, "Over in the Meadow." This rainforest is teeming with monkeys that hoot, ocelots that pounce, parrots that squawk, and boas that squeeze. It won't take much to have children joyfully hooting and squawking too. The illustrations--done in polymer clay--vividly convey the abundant energy of a rainforest. Full color.
