This is a rhyming tale about emus. It includes drawings of children's faces, portions of which have been whimsically transformed into those of animals. The humor is definitely of the offbeat variety. The book is filled with illustrations that consist, according to the author, of "composite photography, digital filters, and conventional graphics." It includes, among other things, portrayals of emus flying, a child riding an emu in a classroom, and a child floating in the sky holding onto a batch of balloons. Although I would say that this type of humor is probably best enjoyed by adults (and children may actually find one particular illustration a bit scary - the one is which a boy is shown with the jaw, snout, and eyes of a menacing wolf), there is no denying that the author has a fertile imagination and an eye for colorful, eye-catching graphics.
