Emily's Out and About Book
Emily and her mother visit the library and the doctor’s office, eat tacos from an outdoor stand, and greet a neighbor. Along the way, Emily remembers her manners, and that helps make the day a good one for everyone. The genial story and pictures will please children who like to see their everyday activities mirrored in their books. Many will also enjoy following Emily’s path on the attractive double-page picture map. Like other books in the Emily series, this closes with a note to parents, here encouraging them to teach preschoolers not just how to behave but why they should do so.
