"When Daisy the duckling and her little brother, Pip, visit Grandpa on his farm, he tells them about a mysterious "Beastie." Daisy and Pip search the chicken coop, the pigsty, and even the orchard,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Daisy and Pip leave Grandpa napping while they set out to find the "Beastie". After much searching, they find it--a little tension builds when we can see the Beastie's eyes, glowing in the dark. But the Beastie that emerges is not to be feared. A sweet story that reassures children that some times things aren't as frightening as they seem. The illustrations in this book are so fetching---see if you can find Daisy, standing on tiptoes. The cows, bees, lambs and pigs are delightfully painted. Perfect book for babies, or for new readers to try on their own.

My 2-year-old daughter loves this book and asks to have it read again and again. As Daisy leads Pip through the farmyard in search of the Beastie, this book teaches little readers about farm animals and the sounds they make. My daughter loves Daisy's curious wanderings and the suspenseful loud rumblings of the Beastie. The illustrations are very beautiful.
