Daisy's first
appearance in print was in the delightful "Come Along Daisy!".
Daisy is easily distracted--by birds, frogs, and the like--on an
outing with Mama, despite Mama's many pleas for him to stay at her
side. Things get a little scary when her curiosity gets the best
of her, and she loses her Mama. Daisy learns a gentle lesson--and
young readers might too--that leads her to continue to explore,
but within a safe and comfortable distance from her mother.
In
Quack Daisy Quack! Daisy learns that there is a time for
"quiet" and there is a time for "loud". For instance, when she wants
to get up close to some bumblebees at Aunt Lilly's house, she has
to learn to be quiet. But when she's lost her mama among a whole
flock of ducks, it's time to quack with all her might! The
illustrations in this book are especially rich and vibrant.
Children
preparing for the birth of a sibling might especially cozy up to Daisy
and the Egg, although this is a story most any preschooler
should enjoy. Daisy is not only expecting new cousins, she's also
getting ready for a new sibling. In the end, she has a new baby
brother named Pip. There are slightly unusual elements in the
story that are actually quite unique. For example, Daisy's Aunt is
sitting on Mama's egg for her. When Mama's egg doesn't hatch, she
tells Daisy that "sometimes eggs don't hatch". It is
Daisy's determination to hatch the egg that wins the
day.
