Edward the emu was sick of the zoo,
There was nowhere to go, there was nothing to do,
And compared to the seals that lived right next door,
Well being an emu was frankly a bore.
First published in 1989, Edward the Emu retains a special place in the heart of many Australians - both those who grew up with it, and those who told it to their own kids. As part of their ongoing annual book series, the Royal Australian Mint has chosen to honour Edward the Emu in its 35th anniversary year. As such, they have made available a special edition book, bearing an Australian 20c Collector coin set into the cover of the very book it celebrates.
Only 5,000 books to be released.
