REVIEWED BY ANNALIESE, 11, WA
Emu by Claire Saxby, ill. Graham Byrne, Walker Books Australia, ISBN 9781922179708
The book Emu is a great book, it is a story about an emu and its eggs and some great information about emus e.g. its features such as height, weight and its defences. The story Emu is based on Emu and how his eggs grow up: like where, when, the setting and life with Emu.
Mostly the story is on the left and the information is on the right, therefore it is a very organised and a well set out story. I recommend this book for any 9 to 12 year old children that are interested in the book. It has great illustrations that definitely suit the text.
I liked how the book was something you could use as research, you could pull it out of the bookshelf and read it to know, learn or use the information for an assignment. It’s got heaps of great information.
The book is a different book but it has better features than others. The illustrations work really well with the text.
