Media Reviews
' 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... ', Jennifer Taylor, 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 youngesters 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. ', Andy Rutherford, South Wales Argus .'The story will ring bells with many parents and Gray's snappy modern text is cleverly done', John McLay, INK .'Easygoing illustrations interfold with a painstakingly tooled story', Ted Dewan, TES .'Daisy is perfectly observed', Cork Evening Echo .'Sharratt's trademark bold illustrations are a hoot', Junior .'Short review', Families South East .'An image of Daisy illustrates the Easter reading feature', Dinah Hall, The Sunday Telegraph .' This is a comic battlezone of a book, fun to read aloud . . . . For mini fashionistas. ', Kate Kellaway, The Observer .' The colourful, joyful pictures perfectly capture Daisy's equally colourful personality ', Inis .'Sharratt and Gray have developed a winning character in Daisy who stands up for the rights of the under-fives. . . You don't mess with Daisy.', Daily Echo .'This is a fun book that a child will want to read again and again. The bright colourful pictures perfectly compliment the simple amusing text.', www.mrsmad.com/book .'It's a lively tale with an appealing humour', West Sussex Gazette .'More in the saga of Daisy, the little girl who doesn't eat peas and knows how to remind adults of their deficiencies.', ibbylink
