Tom’s Pets
Tom lives on a ranch in the West and likes pets. See if you can guess the kinds he has as you fill in the spaces below.
T is an animal that has a hard shell.
O sits in a tree and hoots, “All is well!”
M hangs by his tail in a comical way;
’S grows thick wool for a winter day.
P takes Tom on long country rides;
E has big ears and long antlers besides.
T is a fowl that gobbles and struts;
S is a bushy-tailed pet that likes nuts.
