Good night, zoo!

A little koala lives in the zoo, she does nothing but eat. And then she sleeps. And then she eats again. She eats green leaves and sleeps, clinging to a tree branch. And what did her friends do during the day? The lion cubs played and fought, but then evening came, and the lioness put her cubs to sleep. And the kangaroo? She hopped all day and now is tired and also going to lie down. The giraffes have fallen asleep, the hippos are yawning, and the tired elephant is yawning too. Even the noisy monkeys have quieted down. The moon peeked out at the sky and wished everyone sweet dreams: — We will see you tomorrow, — the moon mutters. — Good night to everyone and sweet sleep! Both the children and the parents will enjoy the wonderful translation in verse by Elena Feldman. Her rhymes are precise, the poems are rhythmic. Reading will help little ones train their memory, develop speech, and sense of rhythm.
