Daisy Daydream
Today I am pleased to be able to
participate in the blog tour for Daisy Daydream by Sue Wickstead. My thanks go to Rachel’s Random Resources.
About the Book
Daisy was
a happy red bus who loved travelling the busy streets of London.
When newer
and shinier buses came along, the older buses like Daisy began to disappear.
Would
Daisy become one of the forgotten buses, or was something else planned for her?
My Review
A delightful book about an old red routemaster bus who went from
travelling the streets of London carrying passengers to becoming one of the
buses no longer needed due to newer more efficient buses coming in.
Is Daisy going to be a bus that time forgets or will she get a new lease
of life?
An excellent book full of lovely colourful pictures that explain the
story as you turn each page. A lovely story of what happens to Daisy and one
that children of preschool to approximately age 5 will enjoy.
I also have a review from my daughter who also read this book.
Amelia’s Review
This was an amazing book to read and is aimed at preschool to Year 2
children. This is a good way to teach
children a lesson about looking after things and maybe learning them to recycle
things that rarely get used that much.
About the Author
I am a teacher and an author and have currently written six
children’s picture books with a bus theme.
For over 20 years, alongside my teaching career, I worked with a
Children’s Charity, The Bewbush Playbus Association, which led me to write a
photographic history book about it.
I soon found that many children had never been on a bus before,
let alone a ‘Playbus’ and they wanted to know more. I decided to write a
fictional tale about the bus, his number plate JJK261 gave him his name.
‘Jay-Jay the Supersonic Bus,’ came out in print in 2014. It is the
story behind the original bus and is his journey from a scrap-yard to being
changed into a playbus for children to play in. From Fact to fiction the bus
journey continued.
This story has now been followed by five more picture books.
I also undertake events and author bookings and love to share the
story. There are also a few more stories in the writing process, with links to
real events and buses.
The story has been read in many schools in the south-East of
England, where I teach as a cover teacher, it is always well received and
certainly different.
