Seven great masses of land.
Some are large and some are small,
But each one has something grand.
Asia is the largest,
And Africa's number two.
North America is third in size,
Between two oceans blue.
South America is in fourth place.
Antartica is number five.
Europe is the second to last,
And Australia is smallest in size.
North America
Our own North America
Is the third in size.
Its canyons, plains and mountains
Are all wonders that we prize.
From Panama to Canada,
From Mexico to Maine,
People share and cultures mix-
None are quite the same.
There are grizzly bears and moose,
Coyotes, seals, quail.
And along those long, long coastlines
You might even see a whale!
South America
South America is fourth in size,
With emerald jungles and bright blue skies.
The Amazon River flows far and long,
Where birds and beasts all sing their song.
A sloth climbs slowly through a tree,
Monkeys swing in the canopy.
Up in the Andes Mountains high,
The Incas lived in days gone by.
Coffee and chocolate, potatoes and gum,
Are food that from South America come.
