Product Description
That adorable Emma Kate has an imaginary friend.They walk to school together every morning, and sit together in class.They sleep over at each others houses, and do their homework side by side.They even have their tonsils out and eat gallons of pink ice cream together. But a hilarious twist ending will have readers realizing theres more to this imaginary friend than meets the eye!

Another of Polaccos immensely popular younger books, Emma Kate is a wonderfully original story of pretend play and real friendship.

This book is good for kids. The person who wrote it has a good imagination. Pay attention to the design of the words on the cover.
I would recommend it to anybody.

When I saw this book title I just had to have it for my Granddaughter. Her name is Emma Kate and she is now 6 months old so I guess grandma will enjoy reading it to her until she is old enough to enjoy it herself. And...I loved the ending !

I bought this book because the title is my daughter's name , so had to have it. The book itself is OK. I'm not in love with the artwork and the story was pretty basic. At first couldn't tell if it was being told from the elephants perspective or the girls. Finally decided on the elephants. After reading the authors notes I understand the reason for the book. Anyway only bought it because of the title. We read it ofton but not one of our favs.

My five year old daughter loves elephants, so when we saw this book, we thought we'd give it a try. We both fell in love with the friendship described in this book; the yearning of wanting one's fantasies to come true. The surprise ending gave us both goosebumps. Although we have tons of books, we love to snuggle up at night to read this book, "...and dream of Emma Kate."
