What sound does a zebra make?
So I think I may have backed myself into a story-time corner here. I’ve got a lovely group of about 25 babies (ages 0-24 months) and their caregivers who are going to show up and expect the normal routine. The “Hello and How Are You” song, followed by the song where we review all of the past themes from the series. I’m in the midst of jungle animals, and as I add the animal onto the felt jungle, we sing a song about what sound that animal makes, and we all make the sound together. This was perfectly fine for monkeys, elephants, lions, parrots, and I even managed one for hippos. But, I cannot for the life of me figure out what sound a zebra or a giraffe makes. (They don’t teach you that in library school.) If I make something up, will I be promoting misinformation?
Yahoo answers seems to know:

Thanks, Katie! No wonder I didn’t know the zebra sound. It’s pretty hard to imitate. I might have to make up something more baby friendly anyway. I also found out that, “Giraffes can moo, hiss, roar, and whistle.”
And there’s always the ol’ “Hmmmm, what sound DOES a zebra make? I need your help to remember!” and then the kids will inevitably come up with something amazingly creative, informative, and/or hilarious.
@Anand: They’re babies. As in, under 24 months old. I really doubt that this would be a winning strategy. :-P
