Emily and Albert

(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Slonim. In "Feeling Better," bossy ostrich Emily thinks she cures elephant Albert of a malady he doesn't tell her he never had. In "A Good Book," Emily makes her presence instrumental to Albert's reading pleasure. As in Marshall's George and Martha books, all five stories collected here are ultimately about friendship, and Slonim's loose, whimsical illustrations further flesh out Ormerod's deft characterizations.
