A quick survey around my son's seemingly innocuous nursery reveals the following census of animals, present either in stuffed or toy form, or depicted in illustrations:
Lions: 5
Giraffes: 7
Elephants: 7
Monkeys: 9
Zebras: 2
Toucans: 1
Bears: 5
Frogs: 2
Turtles: 5
Ducks: 3
Bees: 6
Spiders: 2
Octopi: 1
Fish: 1
Crabs: 1
Alligators (I know!): 1
Animals among these that I'd actually wish for my son to encounter in real life at his age: 0
No wonder the poor kid cries if left to fend for himself in there for too long. I would, too.
