A little gem!, 10 Feb 2002
This review is from: Eat Your Peas (Daisy Books) (Paperback)
What a fantastic little book. Both my daughter and I related to this story as I frequently have been reduced to bribes to get her to eat more than fishfingers and chicken nuggets, and this really struck a chord! My daughter thinks this is a very funny story, and it has already become a firm favourite. She loves to see the Mum desperately trying to get Daisy to eat those peas. We both laugh at the outrageuos bribes, and she can't wait to get to the page where Mum has her comeuppance! She loves to "read" this book to herself, following the story from the pictures which are fun and easy to follow. What a gem of a book for children - you''ll love to read it to your child, and it will bring a smile to your face as well.

The best read aloud book I've come across..., 9 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Eat Your Peas (Daisy Books) (Paperback)
This book is excellent to read aloud to a group of children. They really enjoy yelling " I don't like peas!" along with Daisy, and it opens up a great conversation about which vegies they do or don't like; different tastes; and being fussy. A great book.

Amusing and effective¡I, 23 Jan 2004
This review is from: Eat Your Peas (Daisy Books) (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book full of witty conversation and exaggerated imagination for your children,"Eat Your Peas"is the best choice. Basically, situations similar to those in this book can be found in every family, but the author and illustrator make them very appealing. If we follow the story page by page, we can see Daisy's mother getting upset and disconcerted. In order to persuade Daisy to eat her peas, her mother abandons her principles as much as she can. She even offers her a variety of bribes to make her change her mind. Unfortunately, Daisy always refuses to comply. As far as the text is concerned, it is not easy for a little girl to eat something which she really dislikes. I believe that most children if they are bribed, will give up their original ideas and accept the bribe, but Daisy doesn't do that. She has a very strong character and gives a good example for children. In addition to the author's humorous writing, the illustrator's vivid drawings deserve appreciation as well. Without these dazzling and colorful illustrations, this book wouldn't be so impressive. Therefore, I strongly recommend this book to every young reader. It is worth owning this book to remind one of a pleasant reading experience.
