Arf Arf Arf Bird, squirrels, the mailman--Emerson can't help but bark his loudest when he gets excited. But when his bark scares one of his neighborhood friends into hiding, Emerson's girl Eva must forbid him from barking altogether. Can Emerson adjust to a life in silence? Or will he find a way to put his powerful bark to good use? Liza Woodruff's Emerson Barks is a charming dog story that shows how good intentions can triumph over mistakes.
