review 1: Raschka, C. (2013). Daisy Gets Lost. New York: Random House Children's Book.School Library Journal Review 2013Wordless This book is about a Daisy. She loves to play with her ball. One day while chasing after her ball, Daisy gets distracted by a squirrel. Daisy starts chasing the squirrel. After the squirrel goes up a tree, Daisy realizes she doesn't know where she is. She realizes that she is lost. She walks around the wooded area. Daisy's owner, a little girl, searches for her. Finally Daisy and the little girl are reunited with each other at the end and they are happy that they found each other. This book is mainly wordless, with 7 words spread out throughout the book. Even though the book is lacking words, the movement of Daisy running after the ball and squirrel... more, walking around the woods, and the facial expressions of the girl and Daisy helped tell the story. The lines of the pictures lead your eye where they needed to be. The pictures flowed well, they weren't choppy. The pictures are child like, they seem like children drew them. I could use this book for Prek-2nd grade. This book can help students learn how to sequence their writing through pictures. Students can first develop a cartoon strip of pictures and then write about the pictures.
review 2: This book is a great book for preschool aged to about 3rd grade. I feel like the imagery is simple enough and the facial expressions show enough that a younger child would understand what is going on if the teacher says things like “oh what is daisy chasing?” or “does daisy look happy or sad?” this book makes children thing about a time they got lost or were scared and then when they saw mom or dad everything was better. If you compare this book to other picture books the pictures are a little simpler but it still gets the children to think and picture a different time this happened to them in their head. I found myself wanting to show this to my mom’s kindergarten class to see what kind of reaction they have to the pictures. Will they think about it the way I did? Will they tell a story of when they got lost in the store? I feel like in relation to the world this is a book almost everyone can relate to. Everyone must have had a moment of panic when they couldn’t find their friends or family they were with a second ago. This is a book that everyone in the world should be able to relate to. less
