Summary: My kids loved it!
Comment: This book not only has beautiful illustrations, but also has an engaging story that young children will sit quietly to hear. As a preschool teacher I have watched my 3-5 year olds ask me to read it again and again. The message of perserverance is a good one and that's what the children seem to focus on when they hear it. "Daisy did it!". I can't wait to read the first book about Daisy. I plan on purchasing this book to add to my personal library for when I have children of my own.

Summary: It's about Ducks
Comment: The illustrations of this book are beautiful--they make me want to cup Daisy and her cousins (and little Pip) in my palm--and the story is lovely. Despite one reader's feeling that there's no message (or an inappropriate message), I think children have the right to literature that's more than didactic, that represents dramatic or emotional or natural situations for their amusement or wonderment or pondering. And ducks sit on eggs for other ducks. And sometimes, eggs don't hatch. True to character, though, Daisy is curious, determined, and sweet--this is why she sits so diligently on the egg and is able, through her own determination, to win over her doubting Mama. By the last page, when Daisy and Mama and Pip watch the sun rise on his "hatching day," I had a tear in my eye, and my nine-month-old was still interested in the bright and duck-filled pictures.

Summary: I don't get it
Comment: As a fan of the first book, I was a little put off by this one. The art is as beautiful the first, but the story goes kind of flat. I come to expect that somewhere behind the sweetness and warmth of a children's book, should lie some commentary about life. Jane Simmons' first book 'Come Along Daisey,' showed that she knows just that. I left wondering what a Child should think about a mother that doesn't watch her egg, and then gives up on it, and leaves it to her duckling to save the day. In today's world I wonder what kind of conclusions children will draw.
