🎶 "Guess What Animal I Am!" — A Savanna Song for Pre‑K

Here is another exciting early-bird sneak peek at new color/learning pages, puzzles, T-shirts, and storybooks by Malika Bourne.

We expect Malika Bourne's books to be published in October 2026.

The following paragraphs are the lyrics to the children's song, Guess What Animal I Am. Malika Bourne Legacy has offered a T-shirt collection: Guess What Animal I AM in 2025. But Malika found that her graphic art skills have grown and will keep growing. So this collection of Savanna animals is being updated to match the characters in the upcoming new publication. Don't worry, we have plenty of other critters not labeled as a game shirt.

 

🎶 "Guess What Animal I Am!" — A Savanna Song for Pre‑K

(Original lyrics by Malika Bourne Legacy)

Verse 1 — Giraffe

I stretch up high, way up to the sky, Nibbling leaves from the treetops dry. My neck is long like a bendy lamppost— Guess what animal I am the most!

Kids shout: Giraffe!

Verse 2 — Elephant

I stomp‑stomp‑stomp with my big round feet, I flap my ears to cool off the heat. I spray cool water—SPLASH!—when I can. Guess what animal I am!

Kids shout: Elephant!

Verse 3 — Cheetah

I'm fast as the wind on a sunny day, Zoom‑zoom‑zoom, I'm off and away. Spots on my fur like a sprinkle of sand— Guess what animal I am?

Kids shout: Cheetah!

Verse 4 — Zebra

I've stripes like a barcode, black and white; I gallop and zigzag with all my might. I look like a horse in fancy pajamas— Guess what animal I am?

Kids shout: Zebra!

Verse 5 — Lion

I'm the king of the grasslands; hear me roar. I nap in the sunshine, then roar some more. My fluffy mane blows like a golden fan— Guess what animal I am?

Kids shout: Lion!

Verse 6 — Hippo

I wallow in water when the day gets hot, I wiggle my ears—wiggle wiggle!—a lot. I'm big and round like a living van— Guess what animal I am?

Kids shout: Hippo!

Final Verse — Everyone

We stomp and stretch and roar and run, Savanna animals having fun! Turn around, show your shirt to your friends— Guess what animal I am again!

Kids shout: All of them! Then collapse into giggles.
