You need to drag and drop them into Mo's thought bubble so that they are listed in alphabetical order from top to bottom. The game will automatically mark the questions when it detects that all the words have been dragged and dropped.

If you get all the words in the right order then Mo will be very pleased and will play a little tune on her trumpet - what a musical zebra.

It is easier to order all the first letters and then, if there are words that begin with the same letter - order them next.

Put these words in order: cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, farm. The library is alphabetised to help you find a book. Without that order, it could take a very long time to find your favourite story.
