With ten in the bed, it's a bit of a squeeze! Roll over, roll over! But the little one gets cold all alone, and soon all ten are snuggled up and fast asleep. Children will love reading this famous rhyme and shouting out the crash, thud and bump noises! |
“There were ten in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over!" So they all rolled over and Hedgehog fell out.”
