Read together
In the jungle, where the trees are tall,
And the grass is green and the birds call,
Lives a frog who hops all day,
And a bear who sleeps the night away.
A monkey swings from vine to vine,
And a lion roars with a mighty whine,
An elephant trumpets, strong and true,
And a tiger stripes, orange and blue.
All these animals in the jungle stay,
Living and playing in their own way,
Each unique with a different call,
Together they make the jungle wall.
So if you ever venture into the wild,
Remember these animals, big and mild,
And don't be afraid to give a hello,
To the frog, bear, monkey, lion, elephant, and tiger you know.
Talk about it
