From School Library Journal:

"a little girl's triumphant trek...lively and exciting...thrilling tiptoe travels...storytime and preschool audiences will enjoy this amusing adventure."

Inside the snuggly cave at the very top of Snuggle Mountain is a two-headed giant who's fast asleep, caught in a Sleeping Spell that has made it forget all about breakfast. But Emma wants pancakes, and to get them she'll have to climb the shaking, quaking mountain all the way to the top --- and wake the sleeping giant herself!

"Lump by bump, Emma incehs her way to the very top of Snuggle Mountain. Way up here, she can hear the whispery sighing and rumbly snoring of the two-headed Giant." "The Giant raises its two heads, moans a great moan, and plops its two heads down again. Before Emma can say another word, Snuggle Mountain shakes, and Snuggle Mountain quakes. Peaks become valleys. Valleys become peaks. Emma tumbles down Snuggle Mountain and lands right in front of the Giant's sleeping cave." "'Hello! Is anybody there?' says Emma, peeking in just a teeny bit. Even from the outside, Emma can feel how warm and cozy the cave is. She scoots in a little and tickles the Giant with her toes. Then she cuddles up next to the Giant."
