MERGANSER
Mom, I really love the view
When I take a ride on you.
I can surf just like a pro,
Any place you want to go!
Love, Ducky
KANGAROO
When I’m tired and need a rest,
Your pouch is like a furry nest.
I love to snuggle up inside.
Thanks for giving me a ride!
Your Baby, Joey
BROWN BEAR
We dig for clams in the sand.
I try to lend a helping hand.
I like it when you teach me how.
I can find my own clams now!
Hugs, Baby Bear
OYSTERCATCHER
Thank you for this tasty treat.
You always find me food to eat.
I can’t wait to hunt the shores
When my beak is big like yours!
XOXO, Chickie
WOLF
Because I’m small and kind of shy,
I’m glad whenever you’re nearby.
Next to you, I’m safe and sound
Whenever strangers come around.
Puppy Kisses, Wolfie
ZEBRA
You lick me clean every day.
Your tongue keeps the dirt away.
You bite away fleas and lice.
They’re love bites that feel so nice.
Love, Stripes
ELEPHANT
Let’s go for a walk today.
I’ll follow if you lead the way.
You’re so big and tall and strong.
I feel safe tagging along!
XOXO, Ellie
