This book was fun and would keep a child interested with the questions through out it.

Daisy Gets Dressed is a cute story about a girl that needs to find the pieces to her outfit for the day. Throughout the story are interactive bits for children to find zigzags, checkered patterns, stripes, etc. The book is so fun and keeps children involved throughout the story. At the end of the book the children are asked to name the clothes Daisy is wearing for the day.

An attractive visual book. Daisy gets dressed in an assortment of differently patterned clothes. These are illustrated in a fabric collage containing a number of other items with the same pattern for the child to identify. For example, zig-zag patterns in shark's teeth, mountains, lightening and so on. Cleverly done.

Great for getting children's involved- teaches patterns. Search out the patterns while reading the story.

[Molly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Definitely best for one-on-one reading, the listener is asked to find a piece of clothing amidst a sea of similar patterns.

Good book to teach patterns, although the illustrations were a bit too busy for me.

Good for Melanie (4) She is very into patterns right now.

This is not a bad book just not something I would read again.
Each page has one type of pattern and you have to spot the correct item of clothing (I would not consider a backpack and an umbrella clothing though).
