Daisy and the Trouble with Giants

Overview

Fee Fi Fo Fum! What has Daisy gone and done?!

Daisy has decided she wants to meet a real giant! If Daisy met a real giant he'd pick Daisy up and put her on his shoulder and they'd have giant adventures! They'd eat sweets as big as tractor tires, and if she got thirsty, they'd have giant lemonades out of giant straws. It would be sooooo gooood! Trouble is, if you want to meet a giant you need a magic bean. And finding magic beans can be troublesome. The trouble with giants is they really shouldn't live at the top of magic beanstalks. If giants didn't live at the top of magic beanstalks then Daisy is convinced that she wouldn't be in big trouble again!

Reviews

"Daisy, with her perfectly round face, determined, beady eyes and severe Joan of Arc coif, is a veritable icon of juvenile intransigence."  —Publishers Weekly
