Zoo animals hilariously debate who's up, down, nice, or grouchy.
At the zoo, a toucan and anteater argue over who's up or down, while a flamingo insists she's nice and the gorilla is grouchy. Meanwhile, a giraffe towers over penguins, claiming he's tall and they're short. With sly humor and zany visuals, this tale explores the amusing differences among zoo animals, sparking laughter and curiosity about their quirky personalities.
At this zoo: the toucan tells the anteater which one of them is up and which is down. The flamingo thinks she’s nice . . . and that the gorilla is grouchy. And the giraffe peers over the fence to let the penguins know that he’s tall and they’re short. Sly humor and zany visual make an important point about differences.
