Astute Animals from A to Z with Assonance and Alliteration

What makes an animal astute that allows them to adapt to their environment? First of all, what does astute even mean?

It's easy as ABC....all the way through the letter Z!

That's where assonance and alliteration come into play and make learning about animals in an entertaining way.

Assonance: the repetition of vowel sounds but not consonants in words (as "red hen") for poetic effect

Alliteration: the repetition of a consonant sound at the beginning of two or more neighboring words

Did I tell you there would be end rhyme too
