Reviews:
"Emily is chockablock full of wonder with an appealing curiosity that will prompt children to ask interesting questions about their own world. Emily's voice, intonation and facial expressions sparkle with a natural energy. Parents, caregivers, teachers and early childhood education students will also find they have much to learn from Emily and the adults she meets throughout her escapades. The adults listen carefully to Emily and gently guide her, never hampering her inquisitiveness. Instead, they support her development of new knowledge using what she has already learned about the world. Rich with vocabulary and brimming with interesting experiences, each episode is worth a repeat visit!" Dr. Mary Jane Eisenhauer, Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education, Purdue University North Central

"Very well done and fun to watch. A great way to show ways people can become inspired, and can serve as inspiration for activities that children can do or try at home. Students would love to learn these things and do what Emily does." Betsy Larson, Art Teacher, W.D. Richards Elementary School
