Daisy: Yuk!

Daisy: Yuk!

Summary

Here comes trouble!

A super-dooper Daisy picture book - from Kes Gray, author of the bestselling Oi Frog and Friends, and Nick Sharratt, award-winning illustrator of You Choose and Pants!

Auntie Sue is getting married and she's asked Daisy to be her bridesmaid! But Daisy doesn't do dresses and she CERTAINLY DOESN’T DO LOVELY. She WILL wear:

A football kit
Scuba gear
Her leopard skin suit

But Mum and Auntie Sue STILL drag her to a dress shop! And everything in there is ‘YUK!’
Can Daisy strike a deal and wear a dress that is perfect for her?

A laugh-out-loud story that will appeal to cheeky children everywhere (and their extremely patient grown-ups!).

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
