Book Review - August 13, 2014

Copycat, by Ruth Brown
Buddy, a young cat with a penchant for imitating everyone and everything around him, copies his mom, his sister, the squirrels, and the birds in the trees, but problems arise when he copies Bessie the dog.

Chloe checked this book out yesterday at the library.  What a fascinating book and with captivating pictures.  It is large. 11 1/2 inches tall by 10 inches wide.  Published in the US by Dutton Children's Books in 1994.

Also by Ruth Brown is The Picnic and One Stormy Night

This book is available to buy at Amazon.com in books or you can check it out at your local library.



Daisy and the Egg
Mama Duck and Aunt Buttercup are sitting on a new egg, and Daisy is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her new brother or sister. Days pass, and Daisy waits and waits . . . until she is finally awakened by a "Pip! Pip! Pip!" A story full of anticipation to which every older sibling can relate, "Daisy and the Egg" will surely be a hit with fans of this endearing duckling. Full color.

Chloe also checked out this book, Daisy and the Egg, by Jane Simmons.  Endearing pictures and a tale of courage and determination as well as patience.  Also a large book at 10 3/4" by 9 3/4".  The colors in this book are calming and cheery.  This book was published by Little, Brown Young Readers (February 1, 1999), and is available on Amazon.com or you can also check it out at your public library.

Also by Jane Simmons,
Quack Daisy QUACK
Come Along, Daisy!
Daisy and the Beastie
Daisy and the Moon
Go to Sleep, Daisy

Your public library may not have every book but you could always ask.  Some libraries let you look on-line and make requests.

Both of these books are older books and may be out of print.  They are still great books to read with children and have wonderful artwork.
