Weekly Memory Work: African Animals poem and Genesis 1:21

“So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it….“

Giraffes are tall with necks so long.

Elephants’ trunks are big and strong.

Zebras have stripes and can gallop away.

While monkeys in the trees do sway.

Old crocodile swims in the pool so deep,

Or lies in the sun and goes to sleep.
