Daisy: Really, Really

Kes Gray was noted by The Independent as one of the top ten children's authors in the UK in 2003. He is the author of the award-winning Eat Your Peas and six more titles in the acclaimed Daisy series, as well as Billy's Bucket, illustrated by Garry Parsons, winner of the Children's Book Award and Our Twitchy, illustrated by Mary McQuillan. He works as a freelance advertising copyrighter and lives in Essex with his wife and children. It has always been his dream to write children's books.Nick Sharratt has written and illustrated many books for children and won numerous awards for his picture books, including the Sheffield Children's Book Award and the 2001 Children's Book Award. He has also enjoyed great success illustrating Jacqueline Wilson books. Nick lives in Brighton.

This is brilliantly structured so that it holds the interest when read aloud rather as a good joke before arriving at its punchline - Nick Sharratt's bright, simple pictures look almost as though an inspired child had produced them - and that may well be why children respond to them so warmly
