Once upon a time in a magical land,
There were creatures and things that were oh so grand,
Let me tell you a story of a few,
And some things they like to do.

There was a little kitten with fur so soft,
Playing with a ball of yarn, never aloft,
But she dreamed of flying high like a kite,
On a windy day, soaring to new heights.

Next, there was a kangaroo, oh so tall,
With a powerful jump, he could bounce and sprawl,
And he loved to kick and play with glee,
With all his animal friends and family.

Then came a knight with armor so bright,
And a shiny sword, always ready to fight,
He searched for a key to unlock a door,
To a castle that he'd never explored before.

A koala climbed up a tree so high,
With her favorite knife, she began to pry,
A piece of sweet eucalyptus for a snack,
Her little tummy, she would soon pack.

So, you see, my dear young friends,
These creatures all have unique trends,
With a key, kitten, kangaroo, kite, knight,
Koala, kick, and knife in sight,
They explore, play, and have fun,
In their magical world, under the sun.

Reflections

1. Which animal in the poem do you think you would like to play with the most?
2. What do you think the knight was trying to find behind the locked door in the castle?
3. If you could have a kite of any shape or color, what would it look like?
4. How do you think the koala uses her knife to get to the eucalyptus leaves?
5. Can you think of other animals or things that could be added to the story to make it even more magical?
