Book Description
for Has Anyone Seen My Emily Greene? by Norma Fox Mazer and Christine Davenier
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
“Has anyone seen my Emily Greene? Her lunch is ready. It’s half past noon. The table’s set—knife, fork, and spoon. I’ve made oodles of noodles, brown-sugar ham, and fresh-baked bread with strawberry jam.” A lilting text describes a father’s playful search for his missing toddler daughter, who is always hidden in plain sight in a pleasing picture book depicting an exchange familiar to many young children. Norma Fox Mazer’s buoyant narrative is paired with whimsical illustrations by Christine Davenier underscoring a warm, loving, merry encounter between father and child. (Ages 1–4)
