Emily's Runaway Imagination

        Emily's Runaway Imagination was written by Beverly Clearly, an author you may already know. It was illustrated by Beth and Joe Krush. It was copywrited in 1961. You can get this book at the Brookfield Public Library. It's a pretty funny book.
        Emily's Runaway Imagination is about a fourth-grade girl named Emily in the 1920s. Mama says Emily's imagination runs away with her, and it does! Come along with Emily as she helps get a library started, Cloroxes a horse, feeds apples to hogs so she won't waste food and they get drunk, makes an upside-down pie, and wins a prize for a costume she didn't know about. The laughs won't stop with her around.
         My favorite part in Emily's Runaway Imagination is where Emily is having a sleepover with her cousin, June. They fall asleep, then wake up during a thunderstorm. There are creepy sounds all over the place, so they think there is a ghost in the house. They start looking for Emily's parents. Then they notice a hole in the screen door. Will they find out who made the hole? Will they find out what the ghost was? The answers can be found in the book, Emily's Runaway Imagination.
