Emma and the Silk Train

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-55074-388-0 $$15.95
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Paul Mombourquette. Emma loves the "silkers," fast-moving trains that race the clock with their valuable cargoes of silk. When one of the silkers derails, Emma hopes to find a missing bolt of the precious fabric for a silk garment of her own. Securing the silk from the fast-moving river almost costs her life--then saves it. The text and the richly colored oil paintings provide a fine portrayal of another place and time.
