Out on the Prairie

Out on the Prairie
by Donna M. Bateman (Author) and Susan Swan (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Count the animals that live on the prairie from one to ten in a rhyming text modeled after the traditional song “Over in the Meadow” by Olive A. Wadsworth. Animals featured include bison, pronghorn, meadowlarks, prairie dogs, grasshoppers, sharp-tailed grouse, howdy owls, rattlesnakes, coyotes, and Great Plains toads.

Snippet:
Out on the prairie where the sky is crystal blue,
Lived a speedy mother pronghorn and her little fawns Two.
“Run!” said the mother. “We run,” said the Two.
So they ran through the wheatgrass where the sky is crystal blue.
