Description
Juvenile Fiction. Picture Book Fiction. HTML: Over in the hollow, where the cobwebs are spun, Live a giant mother spider and her little spidey one. Who else lives over in the hollow? A papa mummy and his little mummies two, a mama owl and her little owlets three...and more! And they all have something to say, whether it's to hoot, to howl, to hiss, or to yowl. Inspired by Olive A. Wadsworth's classic counting rhyme, 'Over in the Meadow,' Over in the Hollow is a spooky take on the popular Appalachian poem. A wonderful read-aloud, the playful rhyme and repetition will delight readers of all ages who enjoy a fun - not scary - approach to the world of ghosts, werewolves, and the like..

This is a very unique counting book. We have spiders and mummies, owls, vampires, and bats, witches and other monsters. This would have been great for Halloween. It is a very cute book. It is a fun way to teach children to count.

This book is a counting book. There are magical things happening in the hollow. Spiders, mummy's, owls, ghosts, vampires, witches, bats, frankenstein, and more creatures live in the hollow and dance to the beat of their own song. There is a graveyard that should be avoided, and pumpkins giving off

a welcoming glow on the porch. There is no story line, but the hollow is a lively place. The genre of the book would be fantasy because animals and objects begin to sing and talk. The story does not have a plot, it is simply a fun read. The text can be distracting, but there are rhymes that demand the readers attention. The illustrator did a great job of telling the story through pictures in this book. Show Less
