Daisy has been EXTREMELY excited about Christmas since September. And when Daisy is excited, TROUBLE will surely follow!

Daisy loves the carols, the sparkly lights, the crackers, the snowmen, and especially the chance to be in the school Christmas play. She's got SEVEN whole words to learn! But when Daisy and her best friend Gabby decide the dolly their teacher has chosen to play the Baby Jesus is a bit . . . well, boring, Daisy comes up with a plan that will mean TROUBLE!

If an ability to get a reader hooting out loud is the sign of a successful book, then this is it ― Sunday Business Post (Eire) --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Had my 6 year old in fits of giggles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2012

First of all I will just say that our copy of this book didn't have the line Catherine C notes in her review, I would not have been happy about that either, they must have edited it out. As I said in the title my daughter found this book highly amusing, she loves Daisy and the fact she isn't a girly girl or a goody goody! This is the kind of book that is fun for the parents to read too so you don't feel like you are just relaying the same old plot again like with the fairy books, even I was wondering what Daisy had done, just like in the other "Trouble with .." books it is revealed at the end. The other thing I loved about this book is Daisy's belief in Santa, too many of these chapter books for very young kids talk about how the characters no longer believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy and I want to prolong the magic as long as I can.

Such an enjoyable Christmas story told with great humour and insight from the perspective of a young girl at infant school getting involved in her first nativity play. Parents will have fun reading this to or with their child whether boy or girl. As a guide to the reading level... My Year 4 child polished it off in a couple of hours and my Year 2 child read all the 'The trouble with...' paragraphs while I read the rest. The pictures are good and including an Index in a fiction book is an interesting touch for parents trying to teach their child about book structure. (For parents - Daisy writes to Father Christmas sending her letter by burning it on the bonfire on Nov 5th and the book also recounts the bible story of Mary, Joseph & Jesus, the stable, Bethlehem etc giving it a strong Christian and traditional British Christmas angle to it, which may not suit some families.)

Just brilliant!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2020

Genius! Written in stream of consciousness of an unintentionally troublesome 7 year old. Brilliant observational humour for the child reading and the adult listening. A great introduction to 'big books'. It's essentially a relatively short story in large font and in black and white rather than colour making it feel more grown up. Also good as an easy read for more practiced readers. Particularly good for familiarising kids with trickier words as daisy often repeats herself... As do many 7 year olds!! Definitely recommend any of the books in this series.

Worth every penny

My daughter who is 8 absolutely loves all the trouble with daisy books! Actually captures her imagination for more than 5 minutes and I can hear her giggling away as she reads. Only problem is she reads them quicker than I think she will, so will soon run out of all the series. My daughter was never interested in reading before these books! Worth every penny.

my 7 year old daughter read this during the xmas holiday.
she laughed out loud - and was compelled to read the funny bits to us! very entertaining. i will definately be buying more of these books. she was daunted by the length of the book - but as she enjoyed it so much she read it in a week. brilliant for building reading confidence if you ask me! Recommended!
