Emily Jenkins Best Books

Toys Go Out

Toys Go Out is one of the best performing books by Emily Jenkins. This installment follows a story structure, which is much similar to that of Toy Story. Toys Go Out is a book about toys coming to life and having fun. The protagonists in this story is a toy buffalo, plastic ball, one-eared sheep and a stuffed greenray. One of the most favorite moments in Toys Go Out is when the toy buffalo accidentally gets covered in peanut butter and is afraid of being sent inside the washing machine. Thus, the stuffed buffalo hides from the girl so that she was not going to put him in the scary machine. While he was hiding, the Buffalo gets a chance of meeting the washing machine, Frank. Many at times, Frank is lonely in the basement. Thus the buffalo gets a chance of interacting with the washing machine. The buffalo ends up enjoying the wash cycle as well as the dance that he does inside the washing machine.

From this point onwards, the stuffed buffalo always looks for a way to visit the washing machine. All the characters that author, Emily Jenkins has presented in this book have defined personalities that are much similar to that of people. What makes Toys Go Out interesting is that these toys get to experience human emotions such as worry, jealousy, self-identity, friendship, and anxiety. This book appeals to the young readers mainly because it has been filled with humor and also presents the young readers with an opportunity to learn about relationships, friendships and growing up.

Toy Dance Party

Toy Dance Party is another brilliant children’s book by author Emily Jenkins. It is the second installment in the Toy’s Go Out book series. As usual, Emily Jenkins is an outstanding writer and once again takes the readers deep inside the universe of bedroom toys. This book picks up from where Toys Go Out had left off from. We meet with the main characters, StingRay, Lumpy and Plastic. However, unlike the first book, Toy Dance Party is not much if a series of adventures. However, the toys still have much fun, with the book beginning as stingray is taken to the movies and has a chance of watching the movie Fairy Treasure. The movie revolved around the arrival of a rubber shark, which was later named after the protagonist of the movie, Daisy Sparkle.

A mouse is also saved from a vacuum cleaner, while a dance party takes place inside the basement, with the songs being played by the vacuum cleaner. However, from the look of things everything is not well for the toys, because their own, the little girl is growing and appears to have more interest in the Barbie dolls other than the toys. The toys cannot help but wonder, whether the girl will be able to keep her love.

A Greyhound, A Groundhog

A Greyhound, A Groundhog, is a delightful whirl of a book by author, Emily Jenkins. With a little bit of playful use of language, the texts rhythmically and artfully spin around and in the process tying the tongue of the readers, while bouncing along without being either repetitive or tiresome. The spare water color illustrations by Appelhan complement the prose rather perfectly. The groundhog and greyhound are full of moment, unbound by gravity and joyously expressive. As the rhyme continues to be more and more feverish, the illustrations continue to reveal more and more colors, going from the brown hog to the grey dog, to a riot of pinks, purples, and yellows. With that said, A Greyhound, A Groundhog is a picture book that will undeniably leave the readers out of breath in two ways.

One, the book is an exceptional feat of wordplays that gallops and romps. Second, if the readers read this book aloud, then by the end of the novel, they will be out of breath. Appelman has brilliantly done the Illustrations. Appelhan makes use of watercolors to create two major characters, who whirl across the page, leaping and jumping, darting and dashing.

Lemonade in Winter

Lemonade in Winter is a narrative about two siblings, who decided that they are going to install a lemonade stand during the coldest days of winter. The two siblings begin with finding money within the house so that they can use it to purchase supplies. When they finally managed to set up the lemonade stand, it became successfully, because they truly understood the art of fine-tuning. Lemonade in Winter teaches children, why they need to be persistent and the reward that comes from persistence. In this book, children can also be able to successfully pick up several skills including math skills. With that said, Lemonade in Winter is an excellent book for children of any age. It is highly recommended for any teacher who may want to teach mathematics.
