Bright, colourful counting fun in a new take on the favourite song
There were ten in the bed and the little one said, "Roll over, roll over." So they all rolled over and one fell out ...
Sing along and count along with the irresistible and roll-icking nursery rhyme favourite!
This classic nursery song remains a bedtime favourite around the world, and Carla's playful illustrations will inspire a new generation to fall in love with it all over again.
Carla Martell lives in Auckland, New Zealand. She trained in graphic design, animation and illustration at Wellington Polytechnic (now Massey) then flew away to spread her wings in Australia and the UK in a series of animation and design studios. Several years ago Carla completed a post-graduate diploma in multimedia studies, with a focus on moving image and mixed media production. Now returning to her lifelong love of illustration, she is currently collaborating with a childrens book writer on a new work and continuing to develop her illustration portfolio.
