I also found it to be refreshingly innocent - it didn't have a lot of the flash that many books for young kids today seem to have (due of course, to their non-existent attention spans*).
It was sweet and funny and cheeky and had a wonderful plot. Story-wise? I really loved Emily and the Incredible Shrinking Rat. This book had me hooked visually right from the start. The thoughtfulness of design continues inside with illustrations that together make a flip book along the outer edges of the pages. I loved the simplicity of Jonathan Bean's illustration and the combination of sweet Emmy and the ill-humored rat in the tree above her. I first picked this book up when I was browsing at the library because I loved the cover design.
