MOMMY WOW, I AM A JUMPER NOW !

By Shani of Bank Street School For Children, NYC.

Last week at the Animal Awards, the Colobus monkey won the award for the best full-body jumper . The Colobus monkey jumps with a full body action other animals dream about. The Colobus monkey was up against the frog and the kangaroo. The kangaroo lost because it did not use its arms at all, and the frog lost because it didn't perfect its jump. The Colobus lunges with its hands and feet extended outward. The colobus pushes off with its feet and lands on its feet. The colobus is a champion jumper and if you can't see that from my article well you can just go and...and ....and take a dive in your bathtub!
