Who doesn't love an love emu's inquisitive yet slightly menacing gaze? In addition to being informative, this book has evocative illustrations and beautiful writing.

Great nonfiction about Emu, has a main story with "facts" on each page. Illustrations have lots of detail and action.

I'm not always crazy about non-fiction books with illustrations rather than photographs, but this is an exception. To be quite honest, the emu is not a terribly attractive bird, so illustrations are probably a better choice! This book was informative and well-written.

This is one in a series of 'Nature Storybooks' narrative non-fiction books, many of which focus on native Australian animals, and it's stunning. The text is both poetic and informative and the artwork is incredible, its scratchy luminosity perfectly suited to this flightless bird. Magnificent!
