From School Library Journal
PreS A clever, heartwarming story about love between a father and daughter. Emma, the precocious young bear first seen in Fix-It (Dutton, 1984), now searches for the perfect pet. She encounters a bug, a mouse, a bird, a frog, a snake, a fish, a dog and a turtle, but for one reason or another, none of them is right. At the end, Emma spies "the biggest, softest, cuddliest thing she had ever seen"her father. Emma is an endearing young bear, with expressions of frustration, sadness and finally joy that will be familiar to young children. McPhail's soft pastel watercolor illustrations, which show Emma and her struggles with a potential pet on each page, complement the mood of this warm and humorous story. The one or two lines of easy text per page make the book suitable for preschool story hours and beginning readers. Most libraries will want to find a place for Emma's Pet.Amanda J.u Williams, Dallas Public Library

Emma's Pet,
By ...Loggie... "Loggie-log-log-log" (I live on the earth, in the western hemisphere, in North America, in the country of the United States of America, in Illinois in the town of Champaign) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emma's Pet (Paperback)
Emma's Pet is a very cute story about Emma's search for a big, soft, cuddly pet. In her search she tries all sorts of animals. First she finds a bug, but it isn't cuddly. Then in order she finds a mouse, bird, frog, snake, fish, dog, and turtle. Each one has some problem, some reason why it won't make the perfect pet. The mouse is too small; the bird is too busy, etc. So Emma gets sad. Then she suddenly sees `the biggest, softest, cuddliest thing she had ever seen. (turn page) It was her father.' She then asks him if he will be her pet, and he asks if she will be his. `And she hugged her new big soft cuddly pet. And it hugged her right back.'This book is very sweet, and has beautiful illustrations. I really like it. Loggie-log-log-log

Heart-warming book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Emma's Pet (Paperback)
My daughter loves Emma's Pet. When I read it to her, I substitute her name for Emma's name and her cat's name for the cat character's name. At the end of the book where Emma hugs her daddy, my daughter gets up from my lap and gives me a hug. My daughter is 19 months old. Next to "Guess How Much I Love You" it is my favorite book -- and it is one of her favorites too.

My daughter received this book from my sister-in-law when she was born. It has been her favorite for awhile! It is a simple book to read, short and very sweet! A good book for parents who like to read to their children. My little Emma just loves it!! :o)
