Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Emmie & Friends: Entirely Emmie
Terri Libenson · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Christian Barillas and Cassandra Morris
70/100
👍 Worth It
Nine books in, this one gives class-clown Joe some real emotional depth alongside shy Emmie, and reviewer commentary calls it a genuine turning point for his character. The dual-narrator setup — one voice for Joe, one for Emmie — suits the alternating-chapter structure nicely and is worth the listen, though the original's comic-panel visuals inevitably lose something in audio-only form. A warm pick, especially for kids already following the series.
