Title: E-MERGENCY

Author: Tom Lichtenheld

The book E-mergency, written and illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld is a wonderfully illustrated children's story. The book offers intricate, brightly colored, and animated illustrations that could grab the attention of any young child. Along with being intriguing to a young child, parents and teachers alike would appreciate the detail and creativity that are apparent in the illustrations throughout the entire book. The illustrations are not only masterfully created, they improve the overall understanding and emphasis of the text that they support. The quality of the art in the book is wonderful, and it is an extension of the text, making the plot and storyline flow in a more coherent manner. Without the wonderful illustrations, this children's book would not be nearly as effective. I feel as though the book would be a classical favorite for any elementary grade. The bright colors and detailed figures throughout, would excite and interest the minds of any elementary age child. With this all said, yes, I was the narrator that had trouble saying the words with out the letter 'E'. I tried but it just didn't sound right.
