Genre: Children’s Picture Book

facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
From Amazon:
Lady Emma is a young girl whose
adventures lead her to missteps and mistakes. She tumbles and jumbles and falls
out of her boat. She falls under a bridge and under a witch's spell. She faces
dragons and ogres. As her father guides her gently through life and she finds a
prince, she ultimately learns that she must fix-up her own mix-ups before she
can find her dreams. The character Lady Emma indirectly emerged from Lewis
Carroll's Alice in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the
Looking-Glass.
My Thoughts:
This is a wonderful book to share
with your young daughters. As Emma grows up she goes through several
trials. Throughout the story her father is the one who
comes to her rescue. As she grows up and
marries it is her prince who protects her.
Both her father and her prince have taught her that she can think things
through and stand on her own. This is a
wonderful lesson to teach all young girls.
We need more books like this to encourage them. Our daughters need to learn that they are not
helpless creatures. This is a book to teach them just that. The pictures are wonderful and convey the
message as much as the words do. I recommend
this book especially because the author has not dumbed it down with the words
she used. Great book.
