Media Reviews
. . . brilliantly structured so that it holds the interest when read aloud rather as a good joke must before arriving at its punchline . . . Nick Sharratt's bright, simple pictures look almost as though an inspired child had produced them - and that may well be why children respond to them so warmly * Observer *
Praise for the Daisy books: Sure-fire winners to pre-schoolers and juniors * The Bookseller *
The determined Daisy is to be a bridesmaid at Auntie Sue's wedding, but doesn't do dresses . . . A compromise is found but not before Nick Sharratt has had fun illustrating the array of dresses with ruffles, bows and sashes * The Bookseller *
Gray's economical, repetitive text is ably assisted by Sharratt's bold, expressive lines and colours: Daisy's eyebrows alone are an essay in rebellion! * Booktrusted News *
If your youngsters have been lucky enough to enjoy an earlier book called Eat Your Peas, it's a safe bet that they will like these stories too * South Wales Argus *
