Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Two kittens want to stay awake to welcome in the new year, and their parents finally agree that they are old enough to do so. The real problem is, how to keep from falling asleep when their eyes are closing and the clock moves slowly. On the big night, they finally come up with a great idea. They set all of the alarm clocks to ring just in time for midnight. This enjoyable book deals with a subject with which many youngsters can identify. The story shows Harry and Emily playing games, reading books, and bantering about who is snoring at night. The colorful illustrations depict a comfortable house, and observant readers will notice many humorous touches (such as a cat's version of Matisse's The Dance). This is a fun story that beginning readers will enjoy at holiday time or any time it's important to stay up late.–Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City

Fun New Year's Book,
By
This review is from: Just in Time for New Year's! (Harry and Emily Adventures) (Paperback)
I read this book to my kindergarten class. They enjoyed it. There were a few giggles here and there. It is a good book to help lead into a discussion of New Year's celebrations.
