Starred Review:

Emmie Builds Something New

Intricate illustrations reminiscent of the I Spy book series open up the world of Emmie the mouse, an avid inventor who lives in a dollhouse-cum-Rube Goldberg machine in a cluttered attic. Everything is just the way she likes it—until the family gets a cat. Emmie creates elaborate contraptions to drive the cat away, only to realize that some problems have simple solutions. This charming tale about unlikely friends will offer a fresh discovery with every reading.
