Emmaline sneaks a look, and finds that it's poetry! Inspired, Emmaline writes her own first poem and secretly deposits it on Emily's desk. Emily answers with another poem, and a lively exchange begins. In this charming and fanciful introduction to Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Spires demonstrates the power of poetry to express our deepest feelings, while Claire A. Nivola's delicate pencil drawings capture the intricacies of life in Emily's world. Included are eight of Dickinson's most loved poems, with seven corresponding poems by Emmaline that are sure to bring out the poet in any child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Spires\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374454116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374454111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.32h x 5.09w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e34840 \/ Mouse of Amherst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Massachusetts Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/19\/2001 pg. 102","brand":"Elizabeth Spires","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990162538751,"sku":"9780374454111","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e640ac4-173d-4c61-abb2-a089f71725eb.jpg?v=1683303346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mouse-of-amherst-elizabeth-spires-9780374454111","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
