He can't fly, but I'm telling you, he can run the pants off a kangaroo! The story compares the emu to lots of other Australian birds (galah, cockatoo, wedge-tail eagle, kookaburra) and, of course, to the kangaroo, providing wonderful opportunities for hilarious illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the song that launched John Williamson's career way back in 1970. John performed the song on the TV talent quest of the day, \u003cem\u003eNew Faces\u003c\/em\u003e, and won first place, which led him to his first recording contract with Fable Records. It still remains one of John Williamson's most popular songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46694390497516,"sku":"9781760898793","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c840caca94998f845feddfa16b9a641e.jpg?v=1753657288","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/old-man-emu-by-john-williamson-9781760898793","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
