“Through Daisy, young readers will discover that words are not just inanimate things sitting on a page, they have the power to make people happy or sad. They can inspire and excite people, and they are full of possibilities.”
Teachers and Parents Love Daisy
““I love words! I love introducing new words to my children and my students. Daisy’s Perfect Word is a perfect book for doing just that. This book is full of great vocabulary and is great for young readers.””
“The only thing better than discovering this great children’s book – quite by accident – is discovering that it is actually the third in a series. So my daughter and I don’t have to wait to read more about these characters. Hooray!”
“This book will no doubt be a favorite among early elementary school teachers to show the power of words and garner interest in reading.”
“Talking about words is almost like a sneaky way of talking about reading where you’re not necessarily talking about reading at all; even kids who aren’t strong readers can have favorite words, and talking about words and playing with words is a great way to make literacy fun.”

More Praise for Daisy:
“Back for a third outing, grade-schooler Daisy, a serious collector of words, discovers the joy of poetry.
Daisy is thrilled to be invited by a neighbor to a poetry party. Not yet a poet herself, she brings along her lists of favorite words. The other poets—all adults—warmly welcome her and help her to see that her word lists are already poetic. With that encouragement, she begins writing her own poems in a few different forms. Daisy is also concerned about what kind of project she can put together for an end-of-school-year showcase.
Pages are uncluttered, with largish font generously leaded, and she utilizes a manageable vocabulary for those recently transitioned to chapter books.”

“Daisy’s Big Night is a great story, with good rhythm and the ingredients to be a joyful and educational read for all ages . . . The language used is perfect.”
