Rawr...

This is Emma

 

 

Emma is a stinker

 

 

Emma is also a little crazy

 

 

and Emma is pretty darn cute

 

 

But the new best thing about Emma is...

She does not know what sound a cow makes

or the sound a horse makes

or the sound sheep make...

But when we read this book...she knows the sound dinosaurs make...

Rawr.
