I first read this book in the second grade. I’ve read it many, many, many times since then. I discovered years later, that a lot of the things that happen to Emily in this book were taken straight from Cleary’s own childhood. (Hint: read Cleary’s autobiography!) I love every book Beverly Cleary has written so it should come as no surprise when I say this is one of my favorite childhood books.
What I remember most about this book is the scene where Emily attempts to bleach her dad's old plow horse in order to impress her friend with her snow-white steed. A fun, stand-alone book, with a protagonist much like others by Beverly Cleary.
