Come along on an adding animal adventure at the zoo.
Add baby animals to the adults to see how many there
are all together. And while you are at it, learn what
some of the zoo animals eat or what the baby animals are called. Follow the little lost red balloon as it soars through the zoo. At the end of the day, count up all the
animals at the zoo.
