Old Man Emu - John Williamson

This iconic Australian song tells the very funny tale of the emu and its many traits good and bad: He can't fly, but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a Kangaroo! The story compares the emu to lots of other Australian birds (galah, cockatoo, wedge-tail eagle, kookaburra) and of course to the kangaroo, providing wonderful opportunities for hilarious illustrations.
