Gr 1–3—Meet Daisy Dreamer, a girl who could dream the day away. She tells the story of how she and her classmates Jasmine and Lily draw a doodle in Daisy's special journal. To the girls' amazement, the doodle comes to life as their magical friend Posey. Now Posey has a tale to tell, and who better to tell it to than the girl who loves to write, draw, and invent games, Daisy Dreamer? This is the first book in a series for emerging readers. Easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page make this title accessible for new readers looking to build confidence. Pair with Dan Santat's The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend or Eoin Colfer's Imaginary Fred to encourage readers to create their own imaginary friends with special powers.
VERDICT An additional purchase for collections in need of new early chapter book series.
