nursery ryhmes

My mom read to me and my sister a lot when we were small. She said, she started reading to us when we were 2 weeks old. I memorized a few of my nursery stories and this is one of my favorite. it is titled; DEAR ZOO. (the below is recited word-perfect completely from memory)

Dear Zoo.

I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet.

And they sent me a ... Giraffe!
He was too tall, I sent him back.

So they sent me a ... Camel!
He was too grumpy, I sent him back.

So they sent me a ... Monkey!
He was too naughty, I sent him back.

So they sent me a ... Lion!
He was too fierce, I sent him back.

So they sent me a ... Snake!
He was too scary, I sent him back.

So they thought very hard and sent me a ... Puppy!
He was perfect.
I kept him.

THE END.

We still have the book, somewhere. Imagine bright pictures and creative sounds effects, I'm sure you can see how tantalizing this book was.
