One Saturday morning,

Fiona said to her Mama and

Daddy, I think its time you

took me to the zoo.

So Fionas Mama and

Daddy dressed her in her

cool zoo suit, which had

nice pictures of animals on

it. And off they went.

To get from their apartment

to the zoo, Fiona and her

Mama and Daddy first had

to cross a really big bridge.

They then walked up a

nice street with shops

and cafs along it.


10/40

Fiona and her family finally arrived at the

front entrance of the zoo.

This was a special zoo. It was the

National Zoo, part of the Smithsonian

Institution, which is made up of theUnited States national museums.


11/40

Fiona and her family

first visited a part of the

zoo called the Asia Trail.

It was lined with a lot ofbamboo. There is a lot

of bamboo in Asia, too.

Fiona and her family then went

exploring for some elephants.

They found this elephantsculpture getting a bath from

some sprinklers.


15/40

Look! A baby human

and a baby elephant!

A baby elephant is

called a calf.


16/40

Before Fiona and her

family found the elephants,

it was time to change

her diaper. They found a

special restroom where

the entire family could go

in together. An elephant

family is called a herd.


17/40

Fiona got to compare the size

of her feet to the size of a

baby elephants feet. Fionasfeet were a lot smaller.


18/40

Fiona saw the elephant from a bridge

high above. This type of elephant lives

in Asia. Elephants also live in Africa.


19/40

This sign tells zoo visitors

where orang utans

cross the path swinging

from ropes high above.


20/40

This building is the Reptile

House. Zoo visitors can

see a group of animals

called reptiles here.


21/40

Before Fiona and her family went

into the Reptile House, it was

time to eat. Fiona was hungry!


22/40

Can you guess what scary

animal is lurking in the

water behind Fiona?

Do you see whats in the

background?

Its a Cuban crocodile

with its mouth wide open,

showing off its scary teeth!


24/40

Fiona said hi to an iguana.

Iguanas live in Central

America, South America,

and the Caribbean.


25/40

Fiona also saw a really big

tortoise in the Reptile House.


26/40

There was a big fountain in the

shape of a waterfall at the zoo.


27/40

This is a funny sculpture

of a prairie dog digging

a hole. There is a real

prairie dog in the hole in

the background.


28/40

Prairie dogs live on

the Great Plains of

North America.


29/40

Fiona saw a lion, too.

Lions live in Africa.


30/40

The zoo also had a tiger.

Tigers live in Asia.


31/40

By now, Fionas Mamaand Daddy were

getting pretty

hungry, so they

made peanut-

butter-and-jelly

sandwiches.


32/40

Fiona got really

tired, so she took

a nap, just like the

Ossabaw Island hogin the background.

But Fiona slept in a

stroller; the hog was

sleeping in a mud

hole.

This goat also thought it was a

good time for a nap. He had an

entire bridge to sleep on.

got to see a cowat the zoo.

Last, but certainly not least, Fiona and her family

went to see theAsian small-clawed otters. The

otters are her parents favorite animals at the zoo.

This is a sculpture of otters. Otters are very playful.


36/40

When they were done visiting the zoo, Fiona and her family walked

home. They passed by some very pretty houses and gardens alongthe way. The walk was a lovely end to their fun day at the zoo.

This book is typeset in Gill Sans, which was designed by Eric Gill in 1926. Gill was a well-established sculptor, graphic artist, and

type designer. His eponymous typeface takes inspiration from Edward Johnstons typeface for the London Underground, on which

Gill had worked while apprenticed to Johnston.

Gill Sans has a less-mechanical feel than geometric sans-serif typefaces such as Futura. Its uppercase is modeled on

monumental Roman capital letters, such as those found on Trajans Column. The lowercase is modeled on the lowercase

Carolingian script; this influence is noticeable in the two-story lowercase a and g.

Gill Sans rose to prominence in 1929 when Britains London and North Eastern Railway chose it as its standard typeface. It

soon appeared on every facet of the companys identity, including locomotive nameplates, station signage, restaurant-car menus,

printed timetables, publicity material, and advertising posters. It remains particularly popular in the United Kingdom, where it hasbeen used extensively by the former British Railways, the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Church of England, and the British

government itself, which in 2003 selected Gill Sans as its standard typeface for use in all communications and logos.
