Description

Down in the sea, up in the air, and right here on earth, animals are racing everywhere. Spring, sproing, zip and zoom—what’s that on the run, darting, dashing, scurrying, rushing? Bottlenose dolphins whiz and whoosh, while a sea lion gleefully plays, riding swiftly to shore on the waves. Hares hip-hop, cheetahs charge, kangaroos bound, and horses’ hooves pound. Look, in the sky, beautiful bald eagles beat their wings and fly. Join the animals and have some fast fun!
