In Tasmania, there's a marsupial,
Whose name is Joey, he's quite a trial.
He lives in a pouch on his mother's tummy,
And that's where he stays, safe and comfy.

Joey's habitat is the wild outdoors,
Where he jumps and plays, and sometimes snores.
He's a very special creature, you see,
A marsupial, like a kangaroo or wallaby.

Now what does that mean, you might ask?
It means Joey's different, a unique little task.
In Australia, they have many like him,
Animals with pouches, it's really quite a whim.

But Joey's the star of this little rhyme,
A cute little creature, happy all the time.
He's from Tasmania, a place far away,
But we can still learn from him every day.

Reflections

1. Who is Joey, and where does he live?
2. What is a marsupial, and how is it different from other animals?
3. What kind of habitat does Joey live in, and what does he like to do there?
4. What lessons can we learn from Joey about exploring the world around us?
5. How does Joey's relationship with his mother help him grow and learn?
