Muslim Kids' Journal

This animal’s striped,
all black and white.
You know it,
and so do I!

Its name ends in bear,
but it’s certainly not one!
Lives in trees, and in a pouch,
it carries its little ones.

It comes from a continent,
very cold and far away.
Its belly is white,
its wings black and grey.

Some think it to be dumb;
some think it to be bright.
It sleeps during the day,
and is up during the night.
