Now that you know how to use this book, it's time to enjoy it with your kids!

GRRR!

Welcome to my den, and sorry if I scared you.

I don't get visitors often, and I do like my peace. But you seem friendly enough! Do you think you can find the word hidden in my fur? Sort out the letters and help me out!

*Munch, munch, munch.*

I do like that crunch!

Oh whoops! Sorry for smacking!

I just love veggies!

I'm a rabbit. Maybe you have me as a pet. It's such a sunny day outside, and I am just enjoying the sun! But do you think you can find and sort the letters in my fur? It sure is a job, but I know that you can do it!

Slither....

sLITHER...

Keep your distance from me!

I slither, slither, slither through the grass and through the bush. Right now I am basking in sun. There is a jumbled word on my scary scales. Can you find it?

hint: find one letter in the very end of my tail. you may have to flip this book upside-down to find it!

I am a very familiar sight, a family love, full of life!

I love a good run under the hot summer sun,

And I sure am ready to play fetch with you, my friend!

Oh, yes, you see my top-prize bone?

I won it on a digging competition show!

And while you pet me, can you find the letter and figure out the word for me?

Neigh, neigh! I am a horse! Proud as can be, I run, across fields and to the west! People love riding on my back as I gallop into the sun. You say that you need help finding my letters? Well read on below, and here is your hint!

"One of my letters can be found on the splotches on my back. There's another in my tail! Scan my whole body from ear to hoof and see what you can find!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

I am a bird.

I fly through the sky and sore all above!

You may have trouble finding my letters so look on my beak and my eyes! You may find two of the letters to the puzzle! Then look all over and see if you can find them!
