 GOING TO THE ZOO

Hi! My name is Hannah and I am nine years old. I am so excited! I am excited

because tomorrow my daddy’s going to take me to the zoo. I love the zoo!

We are going to see snakes! The last time I went to the zoo I saw the cutest tiny
green snake. I want to see more snakes!

We are going to see the tigers. I am going to roar at the tigers! Can you roar like
a tiger too?

I am going to hop like a kangaroo when I see the kangaroos! When I see the
penguins I am going to waddle like them. They look so funny when they walk!

I am going to sing like the birds and I am going to flap my arms and fly with them
too! I am going to be a beautiful blue bird with a bright yellow beak! My song will
be the most beautiful song ever!

We are going to find the giraffes too. They have very long necks. I am going to
pretend that my neck is very long just like a giraffe! I don’t like eating leaves like
giraffes do. No, leaves taste awful! I am only going to pretend to eat them.

My daddy’s going to let me buy something from the gift shop. I don’t know what
I am going to want but I can’t wait to see what there is! We are going to
have fun! I am so excited!
