Episode 4 - El zoo

'El zoo' means 'the zoo'. This episode is all about animals. On a trip with the Spanish children to the local zoo, we see the big elephant, the small monkey and the tall giraffe - but first we have to find them! There's a game too, which is about asking questions to guess the hidden animal. Is it big? Is it yellow? Is it a lion?
