Reviews for Emu

Byrne's spiky digital illustrations perfectly display the emus' hairlike feathering and their awkward-looking flightless movement. * The Horn Book * The descriptive language Claire Saxby uses is exciting and superbly crafted... And Graham Byrne provides gloriously textured, scratchy/splodgy storytelling illustrations that truly convey the eucalyptus forest setting of the narrative. * Red Reading Hub * Fascinating. * Creative a Kids Book *
