It's hard to keep up. With so much in the world to explore and play with, sometimes it's darn near impossible to stay close to Mama.
That's the story for Daisy, and most likely your little ones too. We loved this book and I found myself quoting it often to Ben, especially as we wandered through Target (now it's more likely Ben quoting it to me as I get distracted by all the retail goodness).
When Daisy dawdles just a little too long, she loses sight of Mama and the world suddenly becomes a much scarier place. With just the right amount of suspense (for toddlers it will rank a few notches above hide and seek), we shiver with Daisy as she hears something coming. "If only Mama were here!" In the happy ending of this gently cautionary tale, Daisy adds a little wisdom to her perpetually playful nature.
This is such a fun book to read aloud, with great opportunities for expressiveness as Daisy quacks, bounces, splashes, bongs, and plops through the pages. The illustrations are gorgeous and envelop you in their warmth and richness. Get ready to read this one again and again!
