What a great work done by Sheena Knowles, the author of "Edwina the Emu". This bestselling story is the sequel of "Edward the Emu". The main character of this story, Edwina is blessed with ten eggs with her spouse, Edward. So, she asks her mate to take care of the eggs while she decides to find a job to support the funds of raising her babies. Every job that she has taken is ended up with a failure but she does not give up easily, so, she gives her effort to find a suitable job for her. Finally, she realizes that all things she has done are totally wrong, so, she decides to take the full responsibility of taking care of the babies while her husband goes out finding a job. 
This story is really suitable and interesting for children as it uses simple sentences and language to make easier to understand the whole story. I think that it is good for all readers to read this story even though it is a children storybook. Adult readers also can read this story because they can perceive the way of this author writes this story with such creative idea. The author puts the element of sense of humor in the story to make the story more lively and interesting, for example, Edwina becomes a waitress serving foods and drinks to human being. The illustration features in this story is really nice and beautiful as the pictures will grab the children attention to read more and more. The illustrator of this story, Rod Clement did his job well as he illustrates the pictures magnificently based on the story. Of course, children really like reading books with lots of pictures. Overall, i really like reading this story very much. Outstanding work, Sheena Knowles!!!
