" —San Diego Union TribuneTired 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. Review: Hilarious - a sure winner! - This book is hilarious and the drawings are perfect! I love the way the Emu expresses each emotion in its face! Great! Review: Not very useful - I bought this as part of our study unit about Australia. Kids wanted to learn about Australian animals. But it was not very useful at all, because the choice of animals depicted is random, from any continent and habitat (the story happens at the zoo), there was no real insight into Australia. No educational angle in this book. It would be much more useful a book such as “Have you seen my egg” in which the emu interacts with local endemic animals, it just adds an extra learning element that I personally find valuable. Returned. ## Features - HarperCollins ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #211,658 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #44 in Fiction about Safety for Children #49 in Children's Nonfiction on Runaways #65 in Children's Books on Safety | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 902 Reviews | ## Images ![Edward The Emu: A Wonderful Funny Picture Book for Kids (Ages 4-8) About Being Yourself - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81otL3PMZuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilarious - a sure winner! *by R***R on 5 February 2020* This book is hilarious and the drawings are perfect!

I recently bought it for my 3 month old and can’t wait to make it a classic in our home as well. The story is so cute and the artwork is really interesting and unique! Make sure and get “Edwina the Emu” as well! ## Frequently Bought Together - Edward the Emu - Edwina the Emu - Possum Magic (Voyager Books) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/76720348-edward-the-emu-a-wonderful-funny-picture-book-for-kids](https://www.desertcart.us/products/76720348-edward-the-emu-a-wonderful-funny-picture-book-for-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
