Daisy Says "If You're Happy and You Know It" (Daisy Says)

Summary: Beautiful
Review: These books are a pleasure to read and to look at !

This series of books are the favourite with my 9 month old daughter and me ! We have been enjoying these books for about four months now. I even recite them to my little girl when we are out walking to squeals of delight.

I have borrowed a lot of books from the library, so you could say I have done a lot of "road testing". I find the Daisy series to be in a different league to everything else. The illustrations in the Daisy series are delightful and the words are like poetry.

Summary: Encourages participation from kids
Review: This board book is of course fun to read to babies, but it would also be great for anyone reading to one toddler or preschooler, or a class of youngsters: Daisy the duck encourages the listener (if he or she is happy, that is) to make various sounds (like "quack like a duck") as we visit all kinds of different animals throughout the book. An added feature which kids and parents/teachers will like is the variety of "tabs" at the side of the book - on the tabs are pictures of an animal so the child can easily flip to the page that has that particular animal on it. The ending encourages happy kids to do something that will calm kids down and prepare them for either listening to another story, or a nap.
