I read this over a leisurely breakfast one morning. I really liked it. It's a cute story of a little girl recognizing that an adult is doing wrong and overcoming it. Very fanciful.

Okay, I'll be honest here. I like more color in my books, and I tend to not really like bedtime stories. I don't remember ever being read Goodnight Moon, and I read it now and am not super impressed. I am impressed with the scratchboard illustrations, but if I were picking the best picture book of the year, I would have gone with something with more color, and a livelier story.

Mo Willems is awesome.

Sometimes I wonder why I continue to read this series. It keeps me reading, but I know that each of the four girls is going to make a mistake or misread a situation and then get in trouble for it. And I don't really feel pity for some of them much longer. So why do I keep reading? I'm not quite sure.

Finding it a little hard to get into so far...

I found that the story didn't really pick up until the end of disc 2 or the beginning of 3. I found myself drifting off a lot. It does get better toward the end and there are definitely snorting moments. Good if you can make it past the beginning. Also, I think this is one where I would have enjoyed it more in its book form than the audio.

Emmy has always tried her best to be a good girl. However, no one except her nanny, Miss Barmy and the class rat seems to pay any attention to her. Why is that? When Emmy decides to set the rat free one day, it sets forth a series of events that answer that question. I quite enjoyed it.
