Ten in the Bed
Even non-teddy bear fans will love this fresh version of a classic  nursery song. Beautifully photographed by David Ellwand, the big board book  features 10 old-fashioned plush teddy bears that "Roll over! Roll over!" until  nine of them have fallen out of bed, leaving the littlest one by himself and, to  his surprise, lonely. In a friendly twist on the original, the small bear,  rather than saying "Good night!" invites his neighbors back in: "So they all  jumped up and got back in... There were 10 in the bed and the little one said,  "Night, night!" Ellwand's clever design portrays the bears in different  poses—-crossed arms, turned heads, flipped bodies--on each page, making it seem  as though even their expressions change. The spreads are divided between the  white bed on the left and the pastel background on the right, on which the  ousted teddies tumble. Toddlers will enjoy counting down from 10, and watching  the space allotted the bed shrink while the right side grows to accommodate the  falling bears. (Baby to preschool)--Emilie Coulter
