Martha M. Harrison

Then Lady Emma is just the story for her. Based on ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, Harrison brings you an imaginative story for young girls to enjoy.

You can follow along in the whole series of adventures with Lady Emma beginning with this book. Lady Emma is full of imagination but also gets herself into blunders. As she grows she finds her own personal strength and determination to get out of mishaps. We meet her as a young child and follow her all the way through to a young woman who finds her prince.

The illustrations are gorgeous. The pages are vibrant and full of detail. Every character just jumps off the page. Your child will want to look at the pictures as much as hear the story.

Lady Emma learns to be independent and she learns she can do anything she dreams. This book shares excellent qualities to reinforce with your children. I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has to offer. It is really a delightful book.… (meer)

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.… (meer)
