Emmie Builds Something New is a wondrous new picture book by veteran illustrator and now debut author Marjorie Crosby-Fairall. With detailed illustrations full of infectious character, this gorgeous story follows Emmie the mouse in her quest to create an invention marvellous enough to solve her newest problem: there is a cat prowling around her house! From a lion made with an accordion to an egg-beater elephant or a teapot dragon, watch Emmie craft wacky constructions as she tries to frighten away the cat.

It’s only once she succeeds, and the poor kitten is cowering in the corner, that Emmie realises she might need to turn her talents to a new kind of invention – one that will help her make a friend. Quirky, kind and colourful, Emmie Builds Something New is a perfect tale for kids aged 3+, especially budding builders and creators!
