Eat Your Peas: A Daisy Book

Say hello to quick-witted, determined Daisy-sure to be the Junie B. Jones of the picture book set!

Daisy is a sassy, know-it-all kid who likes to point out adult inconsistencies. Luckily she has a mom with a great sense of humor. These two are friends as well as parent and child, and their mutual teasing reflects a very current and common style of parenting.

In the first book in this popular UK series, Eat Your Peas, Daisy and her mom engage in a dinnertime debate over Daisy's reluctance to eat her peas. Her mom, in humorous desperation, offers her increasingly outrageous incentives to eat the unpleasant vegetables until Daisy points out that Mom doesn't eat her brussels sprouts. This dinnertime battle of wills is sure to amuse children and parents alike, as it shows the power of vegetables to turn a meal into an epic struggle.
