hangs from his FEET.

The monkey will tell you a TALE
as he hangs from his TAIL.
7

The DOE KNEADED the DOUGH,
because she NEEDED the dough.
8

The TOAD was TOWED to the toop of the seesaw,
so he could SEE the SEA.

The WHALE was ALLOWED
to WAIL ALOUD.

The BEAR had to PAUSE
to BARE his big PAWS.

THROUGH the big bale of HAY!

They keep to themselves.

AUNT ANT,

You do have some very interesting new neighbors.  I have a new neighbor, too!
Do you KNOW about the HARE with NO HAIR?  She's an expert on skin care.

Love, Your DEAR DEER
