thighs

      Bald head

      And bullet eyes.

      (Frog)

      If I give a little clue

      You will soon see what I mean,

      Because my legs are long and thin,

      Only one is often seen.

      (Flamingo)

      She is a long-necked animal.

      Her name starts with G.

      She stretches up high

      To eat leaves from a tree.

      (Giraffe)

      My first is in dog but isn't in cat,

      My second is in glove but not in hat,

      My third is in flame but isn't in smoke,

      My fourth is jester but not in joke.

      My whole makes no fuss about what it will eat,

      And is known to be nimble on its four feet.

      (Goat)

      What has:

      Six legs, two heads,

      Four ears, two hands,

      But walks

      On four feet?

      (Horse and rider)

      What always goes to bed with his shoes on?

      (Horse)

      A shoemaker makes shoes without leather

      With all the four elements put together.

      Fire and water, earth and air,

      Every customer takes two pair.

      (Horseshoe)

      As I went over Lincoln Bridge,

      I met Mister Rusticap,

      Pins and needles on his back,

      A-going to Thorny Fair.

      (Hedgehog)

      I, the hoverer,

      Sip the nasturtium's nectar

      And sing with my wings.

      (Hummingbird)

      Boneless, translucent,

      We undulate, undulate,

      Gelatinously.

      (Jellyfish)

      She jumps, jumps, jumps!

      Her name starts with K.

      She has a pocket in front

      Where her baby can stay.

      (Kangaroo)

      Safe inside my pouch

      Sleeps the future of my kind —

      Delicate and frail.

      (Kangaroo)

      A button-shaped nose

      And rwo turted ears,

      I live far away

      Across the sea,

      I look like a bear

      But live among leaves

      Of the eucalyptus tree.

      (Koala)

      It has two eyes,

      A button nose,

      It lives in trees,

      And it eats leaves.

      (Koala)

      My first is woman,

      My second a bird,

      My whole is an insect

      I give you my word.

      (Ladybird)

      My tail is long, my coat is brown,

      I like the country, I like the town.

      I can live in a house or live in a shed,

      And I come out to play when you are in bed.

      (Mouse)

      If not for the cat,

      And the scarcity of cheese,

      I could be content.

      (Mouse)

      You would scarcely believe

      That one dwarf could heave

      A whole mountain range

      On our lawn. That is strange!

      (Mole)

      How foolish I am.

      Why am I drawn to the flame

      Which extinguishes?

      (Moth)

      As black as ink and is not ink,

      As white as milk and is not milk,

      As soft as silk and is not silk,

      And is a thief but does not know it.

      (Magpie)

      Without hammer or hands

      A house now stands.

      (Nest)

      A house of wood in a hidden place

      Built without nails or glue

      High above the earthen ground

      It holds pale gems of blue.

      (Nest)

      Look closely and you will find

      A home of a different kind,

      For I'm built with stones or bricks

      But moss, leaves, and broken sticks,

      I'm found near banks, hedgerows too,

      Or hidden high away from you.

      (Nest)

      Hoot! Hoot! Hoot!

      I wonder if you know

      This night bird's name

      It begins with an O.

      (Owl)

      My first is in ocean but never in sea,

      My second's in wasp but never in bee,

      My third is in glider and also in flight,

      My whole is a creature that comes out at night.

      (Owl)

      I hunt in woods and gardens

      With black, beady eyes,

      My young are hatched in nests,

      Some say I'm very wise,

      My beak is hooked, my claws are strong,

      I sleep throughout the day,

      With feathers that are soft and smooth

      Quietly, I fly away.

      I snack on my back,

      Crack my dinner on my chest —

      Bliss in the water.

      (Otter)

      I run very fast,

      My legs are long,

      When others are tired

      I am still going strong,

      My head is quite small,

      My neck is stretched high,

      I am the largest bird

      But I cannot fly.

      (Ostrich)

      My first is twice in apple

      But not once in tart.
