Fires Up The Imagination
Daisy Daydream Bus Rhymes And Jokes by Sue Wickstead is an absolutely wonderful book for both young children and early readers. I think it would be just perfect for the under eights.
The nursery rhymes are based on traditional ones including Humpty Dumpty and The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe. Sue Wickstead has updated them whilst maintaining all the charm. I think adults would enjoy this book too as we can appreciate the wording in the rhymes.
Daisy Daydream is based on a play bus from 1987 as revealed at the end of the book.
Daisy Daydream is a fun-filled bus that awakens the imagination in children.
The jokes included in the book are corny but funny. They will make the children laugh and the adults groan! I loved them.
All the book is beautifully illustrated. The pages all provide starting points for discussion with our children. There is a richness of detail in the pages.
Daisy Daydream Bus Rhymes And Jokes is a book that every child should have in their personal library, and every early years classroom should have a copy too.
I received a free copy from Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

Author Bio –
Sue Wickstead lives in West Sussex, UK and writes children’s picture story books.
Her stories relate to both her experiences as a teacher as well as her play-work adventures with a bus.
The Playbus was a real double-decker bus full of toys, arts and crafts, as well as a lot of fun to play on. Sue wrote a photographic social history book about the project which led to her story telling and her writing. All of Sue’s books do have a bus included in them somewhere. Daisy Daydream was the bus that Sue painted and the start of her Playbus and writing journey.
When not writing Sue builds models with Lego (especially for her grandson), she loves spending quality time with her young grandson and enjoys creating models to share with him on his visits.
Her grandson features in the book ‘Barty Barton; the bear that was loved too much’ which was published in 2020. He also helps his Nanny Sue to sing along with a few of the rhymes sue has written.
Many of Sue’s books have been entered and shortlisted in ‘The Wishing Shelf Book Awards’, the book ‘A Spooky Tale’ was a silver medal winner in 2019. The story was written with her class in school.
