Book Description

Publication Date: April 8 1998

Edward the emu was sick of the zoo,
There was nowhere to go, there was nothing to do,
And compared to the seals that lived right next door,
Well being an emu was frankly a bore.

Tired of his life as an emu, Edward decides to try being something else for a change. He tries swimming with the seals. He spends a day lounging with the lions. He even does a stint slithering with the snakes.

But Edward soon discovers that being an emu may be the best thing after all. And so he returns to his pen, only to find a big surprise awaiting him. . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Darling... Nov 19 2003
By C.S.
Format:Paperback
This book is absolutely darling! And funny, and fun. We LOVE Edward! The large print, the rhyming verse, and the PERFECT illustrations combine to make this one of our very favorite books, not to mention the nice little message of "being yourself". We received it as a gift, but have purchased 5 more to give to my son's friends for Christmas. Buy this book - you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest books ever written! May 28 2003
By Krista Whitaker
Format:Paperback
"Edward the Emu" is one of the funniest books I have ever read! I use it in storytime with three year olds and I laugh as much as they do! Edward is silly but determined to be a different animal but at the end decides he likes being himself. What a wonderful way to show kids that everyone is unique and special in their own way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids love it! Oct 6 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I am a school teacher and over the years I have read this book to hundreds of children of primary age. They have all loved it. The story line is amusing and the illustrations are fantastic. It is good to use with younger children and get them to predict what the next part of the story is going to be. I was very pleased to see that this book is still in print as I have had over 10 years of fun out of it already.
