EMILY AND ALBERT GEB - Tapa dura

"Offering five brief slice-of-life chapters about two idiosyncratic animal friends, Ormerod's (illustrator of Robie H. Harris's I Am NOT Going to School Today!) and Slonim's (Oh, Ducky!) picture book shares the pacing, subject matter and format of James Marshall's brilliant George and Martha books..." -Publishers Weekly "Whether depicting the animals comparing noses, healing hiccups, dancing the mamba, or sharing a good book, Slonim's wild ink-and-watercolor pictures capture the farce, the conflict, and the caring." -Booklist ..".The characters are lovable, loyal, and lively. The cartoon drawings add just the right amount of enthusiasm and personality. Children will relate to the feelings of both Emily and Albert and enjoy their interactions." -School Library Journal

Emily is an ostrich with attitude, and Albert is an unflappable elephant. Whether Emily is curing a cold Albert didn't know he had, teaching him to dance correctly (ballet, of course) or explaining to him how to read the right way (the way that includes her), Albert is always happy to oblige. In five funny, warm and wonderful stories, this irresistible duo will delight readers of all ages.
