Emu Elaine - Don’t Complain!
About
Emu Elaine has a habit that’s driving her friends away. No matter what’s happening, Elaine always finds something to complain about. The sun is too hot, the flies are too buzzy, the billabong is too muddy, and there’s never enough shade!
One by one, her friends on the Nullarbor Plain slip away. Monitor Molly disappears into the bush. Platypus Payne warns her he’s had enough. Larry the Lizard makes a funny excuse to leave. Even Cockatoo Belle bids her farewell. Before long, Elaine is completely alone, and she’s only got herself to blame.
