Animals In the Air

     "What animals can you see here?"
"Which animals can fly?"
"Which animals can jump?" (p, 3)


We see lots of animals in the air. Many of them have wings and can fly, like birds, butterflies, and bats. Other animals can jump into the air, like frogs and kangaroos. I was surprised at the picture that millions of insects such as bees, moths and locusts fly all together!! It looks feeling bad. However, there are many interesting pictures in this picture. If you want to be an animal master, you should read this book!
