Undeterred by several efforts to relocate him, Emerson returned again and again to Victoria's beaches and roads.But what exactly brought Emerson back? In this energetic picture book, children will wonder: perhaps he longed to try the smoked salmon tea sandwiches at the Empress? Did Emerson want to roll all over the flowers at Butchart Gardens or take a tour of the BC Parliament Buildings? While wildlife officials have their theories, Ginger Ngo explores the capital through the eyes of Emerson in a way that will have Victoria's youngest visitors laughing out loud.
