One bright and sunny morning, Sofia woke up with a big smile on her face. Today was an extra special day—Sofia and her family were going to the zoo!
“Hooray! I’m going to see all the animals!” Sofia cheered as she got dressed in her favorite shirt with a picture of a lion on it.


The Journey Begins

When they arrived at the zoo, Sofia ran to the entrance, dressed in her favorite shirt with a picture of a lion on the tshirt, eyes wide with excitement. “Look, Mom! Look, Dad! There’s a giraffe!” she pointed, spotting the tall, spotted giraffe nibbling on leaves from a high tree branch.

“Let’s go see the lions first!” Sofia said eagerly, tugging on her parents' hands.
As they walked into the lion’s area, Sofia heard a big roar! “Wow! The lion is so big and strong!” she said, her eyes wide in wonder. The lion lay lazily in the sun, stretching its long paws.

Then, Sofia and her family walked over to the monkey exhibit. The monkeys were swinging from vines, jumping from tree to tree, and chattering loudly. “Look at them go! They’re so funny!” Sofia laughed, watching the monkeys have fun.



Meeting the Monkeys

Sofia’s favorite part of the zoo was next—the penguins! She loved how they waddled around in their black and white suits. “They look like they’re wearing little tuxedos!”

The penguins splashed into the water and swam around quickly, diving and twirling like little swimmers.
As the day went on, Sofia saw so many amazing animals—zebras with their black and white stripes, flamingos standing on one leg, and even a sleepy panda munching on bamboo.
