Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A bumper crop of concept books introduces young learners to the basics. The oversized, paper-over-board Down in the Daisies: A Baby Animal Counting Book by Lucy Coats, illus. by Emily Bolam, follows an Over-in-the-Meadow rhythm as it takes readers on a round-the-world journey to count baby animals in different environments, from one round-eyed seal pup "underneath the clifftops" to 10 squirmy tadpoles "underneath the willows/ In a soggy cloggy bog." Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1-A lively romp from 1 to 10 in all kinds of weather. Babies and their mothers in 10 settings explore words, weather, and numbers. From one baby seal and his mother as they dive with a "crash plash splash in the stormy stormy weather" to 10 tadpoles and their mother frog swimming with a "wriggle squiggle wiggle in the rainy rainy weather," wordplay abounds. Bolam's characters cavort across the colorful spreads with a childlike simplicity and enthusiasm in perfect and uncluttered support of the text. Some words have a British flair, such as "mum," "cheeky," or "cider gum," while others are not common but pleasing, such as "plash," "droughty," or "draughty." The text begs to be read aloud at storytime or bedtime.-Jody McCoy, The Bush School, Seattle, WA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
With a rhyme constructed along the lines of "Over in the Meadow" and big, very simple paintings, Coats takes toddlers and post-toddlers on a tour of animal families in various climes. From a mother seal and her one pup, " 'Dive!' Says the mother / so they both dive together" to a "croaking mother frog" and her ten "squirmy wormy tadpoles" each group's activity takes place in "stormy stormy weather" or "rainy rainy weather," etc. There are a few glitches in this import's language, including references to a "cold and draughty house" and a clan of kittens "all along the strawstacks"-but children will enjoy the text's pleasing sonority, and crowd around at the author's invitation to "Count the mums and babies up / In every kind of weather!" (Picture book. 3-5)
