Book Cover & Preview Text
Emma laid down on the bed. Since Abby’s dolls would be driving for a day or two, she could relax and just wait. As long as Abby was busy playing, there was nothing that Emma needed to do except keep an eye on her. That was easy. Maybe this job that Mama gave her wasn’t so bad after all, especially since she was getting paid with her favorite kind of ice cream. She could almost taste that delicious Cherry Delight flavor. Emma was certain that it was going to be so GOOD! Suddenly, Emma sat up in bed. She must have fallen asleep. Where was Abby? She was gone! Emma jumped out of bed and went to hunt for her little sister. Where did she go? Emma could hear some noises coming from the family room. It sounded like water dripping. Then she heard Abby say, “Here fishy, fishy.”

About the Book
Looking for Trouble is about the older sister, Emma, being asked to watch her younger sister, Abby, by their mother who was trying to get some housework done. Emma’s reward for watching her younger sister is a trip to the library and stopping for some ice cream afterwards. Emma knows that watching her sister may not be an easy job since Abby tends to get into lots of trouble. In fact, Grandpa’s nickname for Abby is Trouble. Emma realizes that Grandpa is right about Abby’s nickname after having to deal with several problems Trouble has caused in one short morning. During their nightly bedtime story, Mama tells Emma and Abby about their grandpa and his brother. Great-uncle Tom had to watch over Grandpa just like Emma had to do today with Abby. Emma discovers that other family members had very similar problems with their siblings getting into BIG trouble and decides that this seems to be a common issue within their large family.
