One morning Emma gets up early to watch television. But the TV won't
work. No one can fix it-not Mom, not Dad, not even the repairman.
Neither can a balloon or a song or playing horsey fix Emma's
disappointment. But then Emma's mother reads her a book. Read it again,
says Emma. And again. And when Emma's father finally realizes what's
wrong with the TV-it was just unplugged!-Emma is too busy reading to
care. The power of books to enthrall has rarely been presented in such a
clever, simple way for the TV-savvy preschool set.
