In this YouTube video, Dave Edgren introduces himself and reads the children’s picture book Ten in the Bed by Penny Dale. He narrates the repetitive, rhyming story in which ten animal friends are in a bed. The little one repeatedly says, “Roll over, roll over,” causing all the animals to roll and one to fall out each verse. The sequence proceeds from ten down to one, with each animal (Hedgehog, Zebra, Ted, Croc, Rabbit, Mouse, Nelly, Bear, Sheep) falling out accompanied by a distinct sound effect (e.g., “Bump!”, “Ouch!”, “Thump!”). When only one remains, the little one says, “I’m cold. I miss you,” prompting all the animals to return, jump back into the bed, and fall asleep together. The video serves as a read‑aloud, emphasizing counting, rhythm, and animal identification for young listeners.
