EDWARD THE EMU

This would have to be one of my favourite picture books. It may have something to do with the fact that it is about an Australian animal!

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. . . .


Edwina the Emu has been ordered and on its way. Can't wait! (another favourite of mine!)
