Description: Count all the ways to have fun at the hockey rink! Over at the rink Where the anthem's sung, The whole town gathered For some hockey fun. Set to the catchy rhythm of the traditional counting song "Over in the Meadow", Over at the Rink describes a delightful jaunt to the local ice rink. The story of the game is counted up to ten, when the players finally hoot, "Let's play again!" Scot Ritchie's expressive, humourous illustrations capture the excitement of the day, perfectly complementing the rhyming story. This is one title that will have young readers yelling, "Let's read it again!"
