Emily Stew: With Some Side Dishes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David McPhail. Rockwell presents twenty-four one- or two-page poems, each about an Emily. The tone overall is of the poet gently teasing each protagonist by envisioning her as Emily Raven, or Emily Radish, or even Emily Grief in rhymes filled with paradox and whimsy. McPhail's moody line drawings depict a variety of little girls and animals, catching the poetry's range of emotions.
