What big jaws!	take a stroll	a piece of apple crumble	What a funny creature!	He has knobbly knees
The panther has sharp claws	a pile of logs	scrambled eggs and sausages for breakfast	The snake is sliding	We have 5 toes on each foot
poisonous mushrooms	His tummy is big	roasted turkey	The snake is hiding and coming out again	We are having a feast
