Leo’s Forest Fun

In the woods, where tall trees grow, 

Little Leo loves to go. 

He spots a slug, so bright and yellow, 

Sliding (shhhh), soft and mellow.

A nervous chipmunk peeks around

A fallen log upon the ground.

Peeping out a soft hello,

SQUEAK SQUEAK! she hides again below. 

Then ZOOM! A hummingbird flies by!

Green and red against the sky!

He sips some nectar, quite polite,

and VROOM! he disappears from sight.

The boy looks up—there’s something small!

A tree frog high above it all.

One BOING! And SPLASH! Into the pond!

RIBBIT RIBBIT— ZIP! He’s gone!

What’s that there, behind those leaves?

A black bear eating blueberries!

CRUNCH! and MUNCH! She has a snack,

Then lumbers off to take a nap.

The wind goes WHOOSH and branches sway,

The sun and rain come out to play.

Leo plays, and skips, and runs,

Exploring all the forest fun!
