Daisy Comes Home is a wonderful book! Children of the elementary age will thoroughly enjoy this book. It tells the story of a little girl who is dutifully raising six hens and selling their laid eggs at the market on a regular basis. One of the six hens is not well favored by the other five hens. They pick at poor Daisy until she ends up sleeping alone outside of the coop. She ends up in a series of unfortunate events that take her on an interesting journey. But, it is on this voyage down the river that she learns some "survival skills" that she will use later on.
Daisy Comes Home is a beautifully written book that artfully depicts the Chinese culture and countryside. The illustrations are tastefully done. There are surprises in the landscape for the reader to search for as they are reading. This book not only tells the story of a hen's adventure, but gives you a glimpse of what China is like. It shows many Chinese animals other than a hen.
