KEY CREATURES OF EARTH, SEA, AND SKY By Georgia Heard, Drawings by Jennifer Owings Dewey
Name ________________________ Date ______ POSSIBLE ANSWERS
Hummingbird
zig-zags . . . all day Humming birds work hard all day to
just get enough food to live.
Dragonfly
stained glass windows The wings are partly transparent and let sunlight go through. It is as pretty
as a stained glass window.
Fish
gills sift air Scientifically fish pull water through
their lungs to get air and be alive. There is air in water!
Eagle
graceful kite Way up high, the eagle soars like a kite
as it is so smooth way up in the air. The wings don't flap much.
Duck
make their own beds The ducks put their heads under their wings and stay warm by covering their
heads. The rest of the body stays warm with feather coverings. In this
way they are their own beds.
Migrating Bird
get lost . . . Birds have instinct or maps in their brains they follow, and just know
where to fly.
Whale
in the deep . . . Whales swim in the deep blue sea.
This poem is the most difficult except to say they are in the deep and we
really can't see them.
Raccoon
trick or treat Raccoons try to trick us into giving
them food and they go out after dark like children on Halloween.
Dolphin
jump in the air Dolphins fly a minute when they jump up and it must feel good as they often
jump up. Children may feel the same thing when
jumping in air or water.
Frog
banjo songs When the frogs are singing together, they sound like a chorus of singers or
musical instruments.
Elephant
hold out ears . . . Elephants, listen closely, be warned
about the hunters who will kill you for your tusks. We don't want you to die.
Snake
sudden new clothes The new snake skin grows underneath
the old before the old one is shed.
Bat
invisible song Bats fly with echo location to
know where bugs and caves are.
Spider
will be fed The orb is the spider's dinner
plate. The spider doesn't stick to the web but other bugs will stick.
The spider will eat what sticks.
Bear
my favorite Teddy bears are more fun as you
can hold and hug them.
Galapagos Tortoise
only one This tortoise is going to be extinct.
Tiger
Will we ever see a tiger again? This entire poem is about animals
that may become extinct. Sad poem. It means she (and we)
hope(s) they live!
