Book Description

Series: First Daisy Book

"Daisy Says Coo! shows Daisy meeting many different animals that make many different sounds. They buzz, crunch, squeak, croak, moo, and baa, and then Daisy finds one that quacks--Mama Duck!"

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-In Coo!, the duckling visits with a bee, a caterpillar, a mouse, a frog, a cow, and some sheep before being reunited with her mother. Children will enjoy the repetition, and will love to chant the animal sounds. While Mama Duck says "Quack, quack," Daisy says, "Coo!" In Day Out, little duck and Mama Duck set off to see Granny. They go "Up and up Slippery Bank,/slip, slip, slop!-Down and under Weepy Willow,/trip, trip, trop!- [and] Through Long Grassy Meadow/swish, swish, swosh!" In both titles, the double-page oil paintings jump off the pages. Simmons's use of blues and greens is especially striking. Children will love this adorable, yellow duck.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 11-month-old loves this book!, October 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Daisy Says Coo! (First Daisy Book) (Board book)

This is one of my son's favorite books. It is usually the first book he pulls off the shelf. The oversized pages allow more room for the wonderful watercolor illustrations. The text is very simple, but the pictures allow you to embellish the story as desired. I wouldn't have predicted how much he enjoys this book--but I've bought all the Daisy books now and he clearly prefers them to many other books. He also loves seeing "Daisy" on the pond by our house.

These books are a pleasure to read and to look at !

This series of books are the favourite with my 9 month old daughter and me ! We have been enjoying these books for about four months now. I even recite them to my little girl when we are out walking to squeals of delight.

I have borrowed a lot of books from the library, so you could say I have done a lot of "road testing". I find the Daisy series to be in a different league to everything else. The illustrations in the Daisy series are delightful and the words are like poetry.
