FANTASTIC DAISY ARTICHOKE

Quentin Blake, . . Red Fox, $11 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-09-940006-6

A carrot-topped boy and a girl with long blond tresses recall their friend Daisy and her entourage: "Her three fat cats/ we liked to stroke/ Her raven with its/ awful croak/ Her pig that almost/ never woke." Blake's signature drawings with watercolor wash invigorate the proceedings as the trio cavorts across the pages. Ages 3-5. (Sept.)
