My Dog Rags
  I have a dog and his name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags.
His ears flip-flop and his tail wig-wags,
And when he walks he zig-zags!
  Raccoon
by:  Betsy Lewin
Raccoons are not a fussy clan
when it comes time to eat.
They’ll even raid a garbage can
to find a midnight treat.
  The Hippo
by: Douglas Florian
By day the hippo loves to float
On swamps and lakes, much like a boat!
At night from water it retreats,
And eats, and eats, and eats, and eats.
  
Animal Park
by:  Judy Nayer
What will we see in the big park?
 The sun is up at camp. 
Camp is in a big, big park.
  It is home to many animals. 
Will we see them?
We go bump, bump, bump in the truck.
A band of zebras runs past. 
They blend into the grass.
Big cats rest from a hunt.  
Cubs bat at bugs.
  Big birds stand in the grass. 
They can run fast!
Big hippos sit in mud. 
The sun is hot, but the mud is not!
 Are we in luck?   Yes! 
Big elephants stand and sip in the pond.
They stomp into the pond and swim.
 Bump, bump, bump!  We are back at camp.
  The park is home to many animals. 
We are glad we saw them!
