KIDSBOOKS | THE CURIOUS LITTLE AYE AYE

The Aye Aye is a primate 
That lives in Madagascar
She lives in trees and won’t come down
No matter how nicely you ask her

She has big round yellow eyes
That are her torches in the night
They help her look for juicy bugs
That are hiding out of sight

Tap tapping with her fingers long
She knocks on the trunks of trees
She’s quite polite and lady-like
And will enter with an “If you please”

But once she finds some insects
She quickly rips away the bark
Then she sits on a cozy branch
Enjoying her bug-feast in the dark / To dine finely in the dark?

For fun she scampers all along
The branches of the trees
Her squirelly tail like a balancing rail
Helps her jump very easily

And that’s the tale of this creature odd
That looks like a little bear
The Aye Aye with her shining eyes
That lives in Madagascar
