Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be

Tips for Parents:
Not only does helping your child to be a citizen of the world promote a global sense of togetherness, but it also helps
your child’s early literacy! Learning about other communities, countries, and
people around the world requires learning a more advanced vocabulary,
and puts them ahead in critical and abstract thinking.
*Where is Australia? (It is highlighted in red below) * Australia is the smallest inhabited continent. Inhabited means that people live on it!

*Koalas cling to the branches of eucalyptus trees and eat the leaves.
Does this blue fish below look familiar? It’s Dory from Finding Nemo! She remembered an address in Sydney, Australia! Sydney opera house (featured on the left) is a
popular sight in Australia.
Wombat Walkabout By Carol Shields
“Early one morning when the sun
came out, six woolly wombats went
walkabout. They didn’t see the dingo
with the hungry eye, he has a hunch
his lunch just walked on by.”
Does A Kangaroo Have A
Mother Too? By Eric Carle
“Meet the little joey, whose kangaroo
mother carries him in her pouch.”
Marsupial Sue By John Lithgow
“If you’re a kangaroo, through and
through, just do what kangaroos do.
Young Sue really doesn’t like being a
kangaroo, so she goes off to find some-
thing better.”
