Tea Party Diva

Are you having a children’s tea party or classroom theme with an Australian flavor?

Check out our koala poem and facts. If you meet a koala this is what he might say if you call him a koala bear.

We also have more Australian poems and songs.

A Koala is Not a Bear
I met a cuddly koala one day
This is what he had to say
A koala is not a bear
So there! Take care

Panda bears and polar bears
Are bears. So there!
Grizzly bears and teddy bears
Are bears. So there!

Bears are all my friends
That is where my story ends
A koala is not a bear
So there! Take care

Please take extra special care
To say koala, not koala bear
