Edwina the Emu

Children should be exposed to the environment where story and tales are lingering around them as they grew up with them. So, one child has said this to me, “when the story begins with ‘once upon a time’, the ending must come with ‘happily ever after’.” So, this shows how much story and tales play a big role in children’s life. Dr. Jaya always has a bright idea to entertain us. So, he came out with children stories. He read two superb stories for all 50 of us. The two stories are “Edwina the Emu” and “The Gruffalo”. Now, here is my personal review of both of the story.

Edwina the Emu is a about a family which they actually got their first eggs after they got married. So, the mother named Edwina, is very worry of her children, decided to get a job in order to make her family’s life better. She asked her husband, Edward to stay at the nest and look for the new eggs. She had gone for many job interviews and she didn’t any jobs at first. She tried her luck by being a ballet dancer and a chimney sweeper. At last, she got a job as a waiter. However, she got mad with the customer because the customer ordered eggs and she thought the customer wanted to eat all her eggs. She quits the job and luckily, all her eggs are safe as well as her husband.

The main character of this story would be Edwina, the mother of the children. She took responsibility to be a breadwinner in her family. She tried so hard to get a job and after a while, she realized that the best job for her is to be a mother. So, she decided to stay at the nest and agree that Edward will get a job.

Sheena Knowles is a genius person. She used a rhythmic way to make sound interesting to attract children to keep their attention. Besides that, the graphic and animation are beautiful and the words choice is simple. This will make the children to comprehend the whole storyline better. I definitely will recommend this book to all parents who have little kids. In addition, Knowles knows that children are very well connected with animals in their life, so, with this kind of story, it’s surely will help kids to read more books in the future.
