HOW THE ANIMALS MOVE
Reading edition
The lion, he has paws with claws, The horse, he walks on hooves, The worm, he lies right on the ground And wriggles when he moves!
The seal, he moves with swimming feet, The moth, has wings like a sail, The fly he clings; the bird he wings, The monkey swings by his tail!
But boys and girls With feet and hands Can walk and run And swim and stand!
THE SEA-GULL
All the material and most of the expressions are taken from a story by a six-year-old. It was put into rhythm because the children wished “the words to go like the waves.”
