Emerson Barks - Hardcover

"The soft illustrations . . . pull at readers' hearts, as the fluid lines capture this winsome little dog's energy and subsequent suffering. . Extra details to notice throughout, such as a taunting squirrel, add fun to a story that may especially stand out for those who know or own--or are--a small barker."--The Horn Book

"Emerson's enthusiasm and good intentions will have readers rooting for him. A fun read-aloud for storytimes and small group sharing."--School Library Journal

Arf! Arf! Arf!

Bird, squirrels, the mailman--Emerson can't help but bark his loudest when he gets excited. But when his bark scares one of his neighborhood friends into hiding, Emerson's girl Eva must forbid him from barking altogether. Can Emerson adjust to a life in silence? Or will he find a way to put his powerful bark to good use?

Liza Woodruff's Emerson Barks is a charming dog story that shows how good intentions can triumph over mistakes.
