Review
'Elsa Beskow's books are loved by children throughout the world, and this beautifully illustrated translation is no exception. A delightful book.' -- Kindling, Spring/Summer 2009
Product Description
Emily is a helpful little girl, so when her mummy is worried that Daisy the cow will escape into the clover field through a hole in the fence, she offers to go and look after Daisy for the day. On the way, she meets a big dog, a boastful boy and an old man with a sack. But when she gets to the meadow, she realises she needs help with Daisy, and to mend the fence. Who can she turn to? This is a delightful springtime picture book from Elsa Beskow. Young children will enjoy following Emily through her day as unexpectedly good things keep coming her way.

A Poorly-Written Story with Beautiful Paintings
31 July 2009
Format:Hardcover
Elsa Beskow books are truly a feast for the eyes. The paintings delightful, peaceful, and innocent. While many of her books also tell a sweet little story, they are not literary masterpieces. This book is no exception on either count. The pictures are wonderful and a joy to look at. However, this book has the most glaring lack of good story to go along with those lovely pictures. Reading it out loud to my children was almost painful. They have only asked for me to read Emily and Daisy one time. Peter in Blueberry Land, Children of the Forest, and (our favorite) Pele's New Suit are stories we read over and over. Consider one of Elsa Beskow's other books with a better tale accompanying her artwork rather than Emily and Daisy.

Not the best of Beskow
5 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with the other reviewer, I was disappointed with this Beskow book. The pictures are nice, however the story is seriously lacking. It in no way compares to Woody, Hazel, and Little Pip or Peter in Blueberry Land. Buy other Elsa Beskow books first!

Charming book
6 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book does not deserve the bad reviews! It is a great story- just as good as all the other Elsa books we have. I found no translation problems at all. My daughter loved it and asks to read it all the time. I can't imagine someone NOT loving this story!
