This laugh-out-loud story had all the family rolling in the aisles. Singing Ant impressions are now a star feature at mealtimes ("Dubbedy dum-dum, dee dubbedy...") And the word "snorkin'" has entered our vocabulary for good.
Impossible to put down once you've started, so it's a relief there are more in the series! Perfect for confident young readers, hilarious for everyone else.

Can't wait for more Daisy Dawson
5 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my 6 year old daughter who loves animals and just a little bit of "trouble." My daughter reads above her grade level but we like to read together, so I read a page and then she reads a page. From the first couple of pages when she realized Daisy could understand AND talk to the animals she was in love with this book and this character. We read it over the course of three days, a couple of chapters each evening before bed and I can tell you the "adventures" in the book had my daughter giggling out loud and gasping with excitement. She absolutely adored this book and we have already ordered another DD book. I believe there is a 3rd in the series right now and we hope there are many more. Daisy is a fun, lovable little girl who will definitely delight your little girl with her antics with animals.

a great buy

This book, and the others in its series, is a delightful read. Not only is the story great and will get the attention of young readers, but the book also comes with lovely black and white illustrations which will really encourage young readers to stick with the book. Now, the actual book, I would say, is for a more independent reader (way above my six year old), still, if you are willing to read it to your young child they will, I guarantee love the story. Another great feature of this book is the quality of the writing: In other words, very well written thus introducing the reader towards suing a little more of a sophisticated lexicon.
