With physical characteristics such as long legs and shaggy feathers and the ability to run at high speeds, emus fascinate young children. This zoology title, filled with beautiful photos and factual life science text, explores the life of these large, flightless native Australian birds. The text covers emus' diet, nesting habits, and unique adaptations, and includes a cultural story about the Emu in the Sky constellation. Part of Creative Education's popular Amazing Animals series, the book supports elementary-aged readers with captions, on-page definitions, additional resources, and an index.
