Over In The Meadow

As part of John M. Feierabend?s continuing effort to preserve our rich heritage of children?s folksongs, GIA Publications, Inc. is pleased to expand its series of picture books based on these timeless songs and stories. Over in the meadow... there lives a wonderful array of animals and their young. This traditional folksong probably originated in the United Kingdom in the sixteenth century. In the Ozarks in 1882, Katherine Floyd Dana (under the pen name Olive A. Wadsworth) wrote down the words, and Mabel Wood Hill notated the music to be preserved for generations to sing. Over in the Meadow? has not only served as a song to teach counting and rhyming, it is also a delightful introduction to the wonderful natural world that we share with our animal friends.
