This zany story is full of fun as well as being an imaginative
exploration of insecure emotional attachment. Layton''s
illustrations are perfect foils for the story. Quite superb. *****

內容簡介:
Emily Brown, Stanley the bunny and Matilda the elephant are
busy going on adventures, but every time they get to a particularly
exciting part ...Ring! Ring! goes the Emergency Telephone and it''s
Matilda''s mummy on the end worrying that Matilda isn''t wearing her
wellies, or eating properly or almost anything. How can Emily Brown
persuade her that sometimes adventures are good? This brilliant new
title from this award-winning team is a witty and poignant book
about the importance of spending quality time with your children
and allowing them to explore the world around them.
