Emmie Builds Something New by Marjorie Crosby-Fairall follows Emmie the mouse, an extraordinary inventor. There is no problem she can't fix!

But then a new kind of problem arrives. The type of problem that has claws, a long swishy tail, and a mischievous gleam in its eyes...

Emmie is sure that she has an idea big enough to frighten the problem away. But perhaps the best way to tackle a problem is friendship, not fear?

A cat-and-mouse caper with a unique twist, this is a captivating tale that celebrates innovation, resilience, and the power of kindness.
