zoo. The day was sunny and warm - a perfect day to spend
at the zoo. The kids had a great time and the monkeys
were voted the class favorite animal. The zoo had four
monkeys - two males and two females. It was lunchtime for
the monkeys and as the kids watched, each one ate a
different fruit in their favorite resting place. Can you
determine the name of each monkey, what kind of fruit each
monkey ate, and where their favorite resting place was?
1. Sam, who doesn't like bananas, likes sitting on the
grass.

One day, five mothers each brought their only child to the zoo. The children had a glorious
time together watching the different animals and eating their favorite snacks. The kids were
so good, at the end of the day each mother let her child get one item from the souvenir shop
as they were leaving the zoo. Can you determine the full name of each child, each child's
favorite snack and animal, and the souvenir each brought home?
1. Julia, who loves cotton candy, didn't like the elephants. Mary didn't get a caramel
apple. The child who got the stuffed animal liked the giraffes best.
2. Alan Small, the girl who liked the lions, and the child who got the activity set didn't
want to leave the zoo.
3. Neither of the boys got fried dough, but one got nachos and the other one liked the
monkeys best. Tom didn't get a poster.
4. The Brown child almost got a coloring book with Mary but finally decided on a poster.
5. Tom, whose last name isn't Proctor, got a toy gun but didn't get a caramel apple. The
MacGregor child had fried dough.
6. Beth, who didn't like the giraffes or the elephants best, got an activity set.
