Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Canadian Children's Book Centre Starred Our Choice Selection, 2002 Mr. Christie Book Award - Silver Seal, 2001" Emma, the plucky but foolish cluck, is back and about to demonstrate one more time that being a chicken is not all it_s cracked up to be. In her latest escapade, Emma is one game hen with a big problem. It_s the middle of winter and the chicken coop is freezing. Determined to find out how the other farm animals weather the weather, Emma sets off on a snowy trek that almost ends in flaky, feathery disaster. Along the way she provides plenty of laughs and, once more, unwittingly saves the day.

Synopsis:

Emma is a hapless heroine who always seems to triumph in the end — a true role model for the underdog.

It's freezing in the henhouse! Determined to get warm, Emma heads out into the barnyard to see how the other animals deal with winter weather. Emma is a hapless heroine who always seems to triumph in the end — a true role model for the underdog.
