1 y separately published work icon Old Man Emu John Williamson , Simon McLean (illustrator), Melbourne : Puffin , 2020 20542618 2020 single work picture book children's

'A new picture book adaptation of John Williamson's first and now legendary hit song, 'Old Man Emu’, to celebrate John’s 50th year of performing and the song’s 50th anniversary in 2020.

'This iconic Australian song tells the very funny tale of the emu and its many traits – good and bad: 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.

'It’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, ‘New Faces’ 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.' (Publication summary)

"The naughty porkers seem unstoppable, until they meet the gorgeous lady pig named Paris Mucker. She challenges the three pigs to a surfing contest. All hell breaks loose before Paris is revealed as ... Bad Wolf Guy! This gorgeous and hilarious rhyming A4 picture book is written for 6-10 year olds, but will be loved by all the family."
