Description
Emma wants to be the best ever. The question is, at what?
Emma's dog Ruff is the best dog ever. Emma wants to be the best ever too. So she explores some new activities. She tries the violin but discovers she’s not the best musician ever. She tries soccer, but she’s not the best soccer player ever. Could she be the best student ever? Nope, not that either.
With help from Ruff, Emma soon realizes that while she may not be the best in the world at any of these things yet, she sure has fun doing them AND she keeps getting better at them. This in turn makes her want to keep trying new things with openness and curiosity.
A joyful story that encourages young readers to try and try again.
