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. . . .

This is a great book to teach children about self exceptance and understanding that people all have unique differences that make them special. This book is easy to read and has beautiful illustrations that will inspire children to learn more about Emus and other zoo animals. I am a teacher and I have used this book with children from aged 4 to 8 and it has always been enjoyed by all. I would recommend this book as a fun and educational addition to any early childhood teacher, childcarer or parent library.
Edward the Emu is one of the best children's books that I have purchased.
it talks about how we and children should be happy with who we are rather than trying to be something or someone we are not meant to be.
Edward the Emu is sick of being an Emu, so he tries out being a few other animals at the zoo, only to discover that the visitors have many favourite animals.
The story is told in a lovely verse and the illustrations are one of the best I have seen in any children's book. Edward The Emu is funny and engaging with a simple message of valuing oneself.
Highly recommended.
