[LM_NET] First Grade Zoo Site

["Maddie's Mail" <mediamaddie@COMCAST.NET>]

Hi,
I am developing an integrated unit on zoo animals for first grade classrooms 
district wide. They will be doing research and I wanted to make a web page 
with zoo animals that is readable for Kindergarten and first grade. I don't 
want to re-invent the wheel, but I need something that is very easy to read. 
Do you know of any zoo sites that are geared toward first grade? I have 
visited many zoo sites but have not found any suitable for first grade 
readers. I would like something on the order of:

The cheetah runs 60 miles an hour.
The cheetah runs this fast for a short way.
The cheetah is yellow.
The cheetah has brown spots.
The ceetah has brown tear drop fur coming from his eyes.

I also need a site that has pictures that I could use on my own web page. I 
will be visiting the Denver Zoo to take some pictures, but the zoo may not 
have all the animals I need.

Any suggestions? TIA
