A fun, silly, simple, and wonderfully told tale by the fantastic author, Patricia Polacco. Emma Kate is the best friend of the narrator, and they have many adventures and a lot of fun together. This is perfect for your child and their best friend. Even if they are an imaginary one. A interesting twist at the end makes the story even more enjoyable. The mostly black and white illustrations, with delightful splashes of colors placed throughout them, are nice additions to this whimsy of a tale.

That adorable Emma Kate has an imaginary friend. They walk to school together every morning and sit together in class. They sleep over at each other’s houses and do their homework side by side. They even have their tonsils out and eat gallons of pink ice cream together. But a hilarious twist will have readers realizing there’s more to this imaginary friend than meets the eye!

“Polacco provides an interesting twist on the imaginary friend theme in this cheerful story inspired by her childhood.”—Kirkus Reviews

Patricia Polacco lives in Union City, Michigan.
