There were ten in the bed and the speckled hen said, 'Roll over! Roll over!'. Bedtime is fun time for the funny animal characters in this hilarious picture book. As each animal noisily tumbles out, one by one, their bed gets emptier and the mayhem in the rest of the room gets crazier. Will anyone ever get any sleep?
