Unwrapping some illustrations...
I have to admit, I'm in love with the illustrations. The wit, humour and detail are truly amazing. I smiled all the way through the book. I went back several times to re-visit them and each time I found something new to chuckle at. They are just the best. I am truly a fan of this type of illustrating.
About the book...
"It is morning.
The sun is high in the sky and soon
everyone is feeling hot.
Daddy takes a look out of the window.
"Daisy darling, let's have a jolly day on the beach!"
Thus begins a day shared between a daddy and his beloved little daughter, together, making memories that will last a lifetime. They pile onto a bicycle stacked high with tons of beach paraphernalia and head off for the day. You will laugh out loud when you discover where creative little Daisy deposes of a fish her daddy caught, how she surprises an unaware crab with an ice cream hat, and how she lovingly provides her daddy with a sand blanket for his resting pleasure....how did that go? Plastered in sand which sticks to his sunscreen daddy is able to transport a lot of that lovely beach sand home with them that day.
At a time when a lot of dads are stay-at-home dads or desire to carve out special times to spend with their child this book is perfect to share together at the end of the day. It is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. I highly, highly recommend this book. As for me? I personally hugged it close to my heart after numerous readings and knew that I had fallen in love with the series.
Tomorrow I am reviewing a second book by the author from the series which I know you will love just as much.
