Riassunto

A 2006-2007 Chocolate Lily Book Award Nominee in the Picture Book category

Fall is in the air as Emma, the plucky hen, scratches happily around the farmyard This is no ordinary day; the family is going to the fair and Emma is invited Even sharing the ride with a grinning jack-o-lantern won't ruin her fun But Emma soon realizes that she is supposed to win a ribbon How is that to be done? She can't crow like the rooster that has a ribbon She doesn't strut like the turkey that has a ribbon She certainly can't act like the messy pigeon that has a ribbon

Emma is exasperated Just what is she supposed to do? Emma does the only thing she can do She ruffles up her feathers, sits herself down like a tea cosy, and takes a nap You never know; maybe Emma can win a ribbon just by being herself
