STORY MORNING
Snuffle snuffle, snort snort.
Grunt grunt. Snore.
Music
Ribbit ribbit, croak croak.
Hiss hiss. Snore.
Squawk squawk, caw caw.
Buzz buzz.
Snore.
Tip » See how the pictures and sounds create a story?
Tell your tot the noises wake the sleeping lion. Point to
the animals as you snort and caw with your baby.
Oooh oooh, aaah aaah.
ROAR!
Grrr grrr.

Elephants
Elephants are so funny.
They play, they swim, they dunk.
Tip » Point out the
elephant’s trunk. Look
how the water sprays!
If your child is old
enough for a straw, let
her suck up water and
then blow it through
the straw—outside, of
course!
What makes me giggle most?
They shower with their trunk!

Tip » What fun names some animals have! Can you
also see a kiwi? An ostrich? A cockatoo? What is the
little fellow on the lily pad?

Tip » “Kangaroo” is a great word to add to your child’s
vocabulary. “Hop like a kangaroo” is fun exercise. Or
“Snuggle like a kangaroo” fits when using a baby carrier.

PENGUINS
Look at the penguins!
See them go
with a widdle and a waddle
on the ice and snow.
Tip » Emphasize the fun sound effects as you
read: widdle, waddle, whish, whoosh! Stand
up stiffly and show your child how a penguin
waddles. Can your tot imitate you?
Look at this penguin
swim in the sea
with a whish and a whoosh—
how graceful is he!
