Our Nature Story
Giovanni Werna and Havilah Werna

My name is Havilah. I have a stuffed hedgehog; just like the one in this picture I named Miss Tiggy-winkles. I cuddle her when I go to bed.

She reminds me of Beatrix Potter's Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

My name is Giovanni. I have a stuffed butterfly I named Wind. I go to bed with Wind. Wind is my favorite stuffed insect.
Butterflies likes to flap their wings gently when they flutter in the sky.

2

We like climbing trees and sometimes plucking fruits. It is fun to swing on the branches. Fruits are sweet and sometimes sour.

We have never eaten bitter fruits before; have you?

3

We think this elephant is thirsty and wants to drink water.

Elephants have 2 eyes, 4 legs, 2 BIG ears, 2 tusks, 1 LONG trunk and a wagging tail.

4

We think these hyenas in the desert are building a tower that looks like the Eiffel tower, so they can reach the sky to tickle the clouds with their laughter and make it rain.

5

Ladybugs can fly. When they fly around, they make sounds like this; "bzzzzzz!" we think they like flowers too.

6

Bumblebees buzz around when they fly just like ladybugs.

7

Dragonflies have four wings, they buzz around too like ladybugs and dragonflies.

Let's google to find out more about these animals and insects.
