One wide sky
Two clouds glide by
Three songbirds sail the air
Four fir trees over there
 Five feathers from a nest
Six zinnias bloom their best.

A perfect day of backyard adventures unfolds and then slowly comes to an end. Moonlight fills the sky. Time for a soothing lullaby. Count down to bedtime with three lively boys all wrapped in warm kisses, and two mischievous squirrels who are snuggled up close, as they finally drift off into sweet dreams ... under one wide sky.

Picture book, counting book, and lullaby, for all ages.
