Emma is planning her birthday party, and she's inviting a rainbow of friends. This picture book uses simple text and enchanting illustrations to introduce new readers and nonreaders to colors and counting. The text and illustrations work together to present ten colors, including the eight basic colors of the kindergarten curriculum (red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, brown, and black), plus white and pink. Readers will also learn about numbers and counting from 1 to 10. Emma and Her Friends is a delightful parade of personalities and a charming introduction to early curriculum concepts.
