Description
Written by How to Train Your Dragon author Cressida Cowell, Emily Brown and the Thing is a lovely children's picture book with illustrations by Neal Layton.
This charming picture book tells the story of little Emily Brown who, along with her toy rabbit Stanley, finds a 'Thing' crying on her windowsill. The Thing finds so many reasons not to go to sleep, from needing his cuddly toy to requiring a glass of milk. As his demands increase, parents will be very familiar with many of the Thing's excuses! Throughout the book, colourful and exciting pictures will bring the story to life.
Reading Emily Brown and the Thing is the perfect way to end the day, with this funny bedtime story being one that all families relate to. It's one of many Emily Brown books, great for reading aloud, with simple language that even very little listeners can enjoy. At the end of the book, children will have learned an important message about not being afraid of the dark.
