About this title

Synopsis

Sheena Knowles's upbeat, rhyming text and Rod Clement's expressive illustrations are sure to make readers laugh out loud. Over 100 5-star reviewers agree: "A wonderful book with a wonderful message: be yourself!"

"If you buy one book for sheer fun, there's no question it should be this one." —San Diego Union Tribune

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, and even slithers with the snakes. But Edward soon discovers that being an emu may be the best thing after all.

This picture book is an excellent choice to share in the classroom or at home—both adults and kids will laugh at and sympathize with Edward the Emu.
