I Always, ALWAYS Get My Way

From carefully aimed pouts and shifting the blame to the threat of an all-out tantrum, this laugh-out-loud story for kids and adults focuses on the clever antics, advantage-taking, limit-testing, and childhood shenanigans of three-year-old Emmy.

Once Emmy discovers that shes too young to be punished, she constantly wrangles her way out of trouble by proclaiming, "Im only three!" and pulls a handy weapon from her arsenal of manipulative maneuvers. With hilarious, rhyming text and energetic ink and watercolor illustrations that capture Emmys expressions, from angelic to livid, readers discover that Emmy cant get away with her outrageous behavior forever and that her actions do eventually have consequences.
