(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Dyer. When she's sick, Emily's writer-father cares for her lovingly and humors her whims patiently, though he's unable to locate her favorite stuffed moose or the thermometer. In a turnaround ending, the father contracts Emily's bug and she finds the missing items. New watercolors enliven and extend this affectionate narrative.
