Thus far, I think this is my favorite Patricia Polacco picture book. I think the text is so carefree and you fall in love with the little girl. Remember the days when you had an imaginary friend? Man, sometimes I wish I was a kid again.
Just like in “The Keeping Quilt,” the only thing that is consistently in color is the little girl’s dress. A few other things have color, but this is how you can consistently tell Emma Kate and her best friend are together.
I would definitely use this with my children someday and I will have it in my classroom. It is intended for younger children – the pictures are somewhat silly and the text is very simple – but says a million words!
