This is a really nice story about imaginative play. The illustrations are expert, I find Patricia Polacco frustrating because I experience her illustrations could be actually good, she has the talent to be so, but often they are just okay, sometimes bad, it feels like sometimes she hasn't given it a second try, no refinement, only these are lovely, some bang-up elephant observations.

I enjoyed this flick-book quite a bit, and was particularly taken with the lilliputian tribute, midway through, to Dr. Seuss'

Horton Hears a Who! - evidently ones of Polacco's favorite books as a girl. The illustrations are a piddling less colorful than those plant in some of the creative person's other books - Emma Kate herself sports a brightly colored red wearing apparel, only the elephant, and the surroundings, are generally depicted in unadorned grey pencil - simply too very expressive. I thought the elephant's dubious facial expression, in the scene where she and Emma Kate were riding the cycle, was simply ambrosial! All in all, this was a pleasure to read, and is one I would recommend to young children who accept, or take had, an imaginary friend, to elephant lovers, and to fans of Patricia Polacco's work. ...more than

Book review: Emma Kate
Written by Patricia Polacco

What happens when you take a shut friend and you both catch a cold? Will y'all share food together? According to Emma Kate(which is an elephant) and her close friend, these ii friends volition do things together They will even take hold of a cold together.

The story begins as a daughter and Emma Kate (her elephant) become to schoolhouse together. They do things together. They are really best friends. They eat together, they sleep together, and they have baths together.

My favorite part in this book is when they take hold of a common cold together. They don't actually care about their cold; they just get long together.

In some ways, this book is almost how close friends do things together, and how they help each other, because they need help, they ever aid each other .

The story is warm and funny considering Emma Kate is an elephant. She shouldn't become to school, only the girl took her to schoolhouse. And also the important part is that she did not pause any thing! Emma Kate is big, only she is gentle. The girl helps Emma Kate a lot! When boys laugh at her, she yells at them! That let me cry because she is then squeamish by helping her best friend!

I recommend this volume to people who like friendship and elephants. I also recommend this book to 7 to 10 year-former kids; because I call up caring for each other is of import. People who like cartoons probably will enjoy it. Finally, if you enjoyed this book, y'all can read My Ol' Man, Mommies Say Shhh! Oh! Expect, 1000 Is For Caprine animal,these are also byPatricia Polacco, you may like this volume.

The elephant is her all-time friend. It'southward so agreeable that she rides her bike domicile with Emma sitting on the dorsum of the bicycle. Impossible, right? I know considering the elephant is only the little girl's imaginary friend. I think the little girl is the only kid in the family unit and then that's why she became and so lonely.

This book is special considering the author dedicated the book to Dr. Suess and Horton. She had an elephant as her imaginary friend because she really likes the book Horton Hatches the Egg. If you read this book you lot will probably realize this, too. Patricia Polacco emphasizes this by only putting the colors on the picayune girl. The remainder of the illustrations or the backgrounds are all black and white.
This book is full of energy. Information technology shows that how of import friendship is. I think this book would suit readers who are nigh half dozen-viii years sometime. I really like the volume because it's and then touching and warm to see them helping each other when they demand assistance or someone to back-trail them.

This is a book that really has a very deep meaning to information technology. The author is and so brave and imaginative to convert such an ordinary story into an amazingly extraordinary story. Patricia Polacco makes y'all really desire to have an elephant. She brings you into a globe where anything can happen, if you believe.

Subsequently we figured this out, we went back and looked for clues that the elephant was the narrator. When y'all know what y'all're looking for, y'all find a lot of clues!
