What Emily Saw is a day of adventure and discovery as seen through the eyes of an imaginative child. Beginning readers join Emily as she starts out on a magical day full of hidden surprises: toys having a party under her bed, mice getting married, pirates escaping from a ship in a bottle, and men with red balloons having afternoon tea in the sky. But there's an even bigger surprise waiting for Emily at the end of the day. Brightly colored drawings with clever visual clues spark young imaginations, while the simple rhyming text makes the process of learning to read fun and rewarding.
