From Amazon.com: Emily is a plucky little bunny with a wonderful attitude about the adventures that lie ahead as she enters kindergarten in Emily's First 100 Days of School. Her teacher, a dynamic guinea pig named Miss Cribbage, has promised a big party for the hundredth day and while Emily finds it hard to imagine that she will ever reach such a distant milestone, she passes the time by noticing all the numbers in her every day life. She finds four corners in a dancing square, is able to read seventeen words in a book and even learns about a '38 Desoto. Rather than being a mere recitation of items corresponding to a hundred numbers, the book features whimsical and poignant storylines such as the departure of Emily's best friend Diane Duck and the arrival of Angela, a new koala girl from Australia. Besides easing the transition into school by providing a likable rabbit role model, author Rosemary Wells accomplishes the neat trick of making numbers both approachable and fun. The large paperback book is the star attraction in this handy box set which also includes 100 activity cards with educational information corresponding to each number, a deck of Rosemary Wells playing cards, a paper growth chart, paper ruler, 40 stickers, and a poster with all 100 numbers in sticker form. --John Moe
