Children have been laughing aloud and gasping in suspense as they watch SmartyPad and Emmalyn struggle to work through their differences.

Sweet and sassy Emmalyn has other things to learn, like how to take better care of a tablet, for one! Each learns from the other, as they scuffle into an entertaining friendship despite their opposing wills.
