Here comes the bride . . . and the flower girl. Daisy loves playing Brides with her favorite babysitter, Allie. She loves dressing up, carrying the basket of flower petals and pretending her cat is the groom. Imagine Daisy’s excitement when she finally gets to be a real flower girl. After all this practice, Daisy is well-prepared for her responsibilities. Allie allows Daisy to help plan the big day, right down to the fireworks, and even lets her choose her own, perfect blue-sky dress with tiny pink flowers. Daisy’s preparation comes in handy on the real day when things do not go exactly as planned. Even when faced with an unexpected storm and blackout, Daisy is unruffled and steps in to save the day. Short, quick-moving chapters dotted with delightful girly illustrations make this a perfect choice for many new readers who love to play dress up and imagine the glamour of being in a wedding.
