CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L05
It's egg hunt day at the zoo, and Murphy finds an extra-special painted egg in the flowers, but it wobbles and rolls away! A gentle elephant whooshes it over the fence with her trunk, an easygoing elk catches it in his antlers, and then it rolls right up to the big EXIT sign and hops onto the zoo train. The zoo train engine chugs all the way around the zoo and brings it back to Murphy, choo choo!
Every one of them starts with the letter E. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
E! E! E is excellent! E! E! Here we go! Murphy went to the zoo on egg hunt day He found a special egg in the flowers, hooray! Wobble went the egg, then it rolled away So hop up on the couch, let's find it today! E, E, egg! (Egg!) E, E, elephant! (Elephant!) E, E, elk, with antlers way up high! E, E, exit, wave the zoo goodbye! E, E, engine, chugging down the track! E is excellent, bring it back! An elephant whooshed it with her great big trunk Over the fence it went, ker-plunk! An elk caught it up in his antlers so wide Shake, shake, shake, off it went for a ride! E, E, egg! (Egg!) E, E, elephant! (Elephant!) E, E, elk, with antlers way up high! E, E, exit, wave the zoo goodbye! E, E, engine, chugging down the track! E is excellent, bring it back! Rolling to the gate where the EXIT sign glows It hopped on the zoo train, and off it goes! Choo, choo, choo, back to Murphy's chair Excellent, excellent, everywhere! What starts with E? (Egg!) What starts with E? (Elephant!) What starts with E? (Elk!) What starts with E? (Exit!) What starts with E? (Engine!) Five excellent things that start with E!

Download free PDFMurphy chases his painted egg all the way around the zoo, and every friend and place he finds starts with the short “e” sound in egg: egg, elephant, elk, exit and engine. Each word pops up next to a big letter E, and Murphy says “E is for…” after each one, so kids see the letter and hear its sound together.
It's the “e” in egg, bed and red. Your mouth opens a little and your lips relax into a small smile. The long E, as in eagle and tree, is the sound that matches the letter's name, and kids usually learn it a little later.
Start in the middle with a short line across, then curve up, over and around, like a snail shell that doesn't quite close. The Trace It game shows that path with arrows.
