TEN little emus? You've got to be kidding

When Edward and Edwina Emu find themselves expecting ten little emus, Edwina tries her feathers at a variety of jobs to support the growing family, from chimney sweep to ballet dancer.

Rhythmic, rhyming verse by Sheena Knowles and hilarious illustrations by Rod Clement make this an entertaining picture book that's perfect for reading aloud. This sequel to the popular Edward the Emu is an excellent choice to share in the classroom or at home--both adults and kids will laugh at and sympathize with the Emu family.
