Ape to Zebra, a store of cheerful impossibiliites made delightfully possible...


Cornel the connoisseur had an eye for unique toys.
And when she went wherever she went, she'd find toys for girls and boys.
But more and more as time went by, her findings were deficient.
A child learning through creative play is what makes a toy efficient!

Then for some reason unbeknownst, without an explanation.
Cornel decided to find these toys on a fantastical exploration.

By choo choo, by tugboat, by hot air balloon.
By street car, by jump rope, by slippery soup spoon.
Cornel found toys in the tiniest of nooks
Unique, creative toys she heard of only in books.

An aficionado she was, there was no doubt about.
But by how did she find these toys without an animal scout?
By making friends with animals of the strangest vocations,
For everyone knows they have the keenest imaginations.

When it was time to part with treasure in tow
Her animal friends were sad to see Cornel go
Don't worry, friends! You won't miss me a smidgeon!
Cornel kept in touch with carrier pigeon.

As time passed by, she missed her friends more and more
That's when Cornel decided to open a toy store.

She sent word to talkative tiger, wise bear and her truffling pig
Even prickly porcupine said she was up for the gig
While it might seem like Cornel had enlisted a zoo
These toy enthusiasts specialize in making dreams come true
Each country, each province and all of these states
