"Kids ages 8-11 looking for inviting yet easier readers
will relish Patricia Hermes’
Emma Dilemma and the New
Nanny,
a story of a series of family dilemmas stemming from a
loose
ferret."
Children’s
Bookwatch,
June 2006
"The tumult in a family
with five preteen children, several pets, and two working parents provides a
lively setting, and the author lightly but effectively conveys the ideas that
adults aren’t perfect and that admitting mistakes is often the first step
toward solutions that leave everyone
pleased."

"Emma is a delightfully genuine young heroine with
whom young middle-grade readers will identify and look to for future
episodes."
