A platypus who thinks he is an emu finds his way home with the help of
his friends in this classic, tender picture book from Annika Dunklee and

When the stork drops an egg before delivering it to its parents the
little animal's first words are EEE-MOO. So, a cow, pig, horse, and
other furry friends who watch him hatch decide he is an emu and
Australia is his home. Good friends that they are, they offer to help
him get there. So EEE-MOO's journey begins, and along the way he meets a
cast of other animal friends who guide him to the open arms of his
family. But when he gets there, he realizes something is missing.
