"Shorts Hi Flip The Sky" series

The Daisy collection has always been characterized by being funny, creative, and challenging the authority of adults, and has become a household name for children in the UK. This book is no exception. From the cover, we can feel the strong Daisy style -
Standing upside down and revealing large shorts, what parent can tolerate their children playing like this? But Daisy can!
How many possibilities is there for a pair of shorts that are too ordinary to be ordinary? How does a submarine turn into shorts? How are ice cream shorts made? What's the secret to making fart shorts? Follow Daisy to develop fantastic ideas and make ordinary daily life full of surprises.
The inspiration needed to come up with so many shorts comes not only from the child's brain hole, but also from the child's careful observation of daily life. A keen insight into everyday life is an important source of imagination.
Not only that, Daisy, known as the "clever ghost", also has a strong insight into the psychology of adults. This is also the key reason why Daisy is loved by many children.
For example, The most classic work in the Daisy series, "Eat Your Peas", which Pu Pulan introduced and published 10 years ago, gave full play to this feature of Daisy. The book won the 2001 Children's Book Award in the United Kingdom and was hand-picked by more than 20,000 children.
Eat Your Pea
The story tells that Daisy (translated as "Daisy" in the book) hates eating peas very much, and in order for Daisy to eat peas, her mother offers many attractive conditions: she can eat pudding after eating, she can go to bed later, don't have to take a bath, buy a new bicycle, etc., but Daisy refuses to do anything.
Mom's conditions gradually improved until she "ate the peas and bought Daisy the whole continent and 92 chocolate factories and ..." It seems that her mother had to let Daisy eat the peas to make up for it, but Daisy let her mother compromise with one word——
"Then you eat the cabbage, and I eat the peas."
"But I don't like cabbage." Mom said.
Why are adults never picky eaters, only children are picky eaters? Because that's what they bought!!!
The story of "Eat Your Peas" is exactly the truth that when children challenge adults, adults are also picky eaters, and children are no different.
Daisy is good at thinking, eccentric, always following her own ideas, truly presenting the careful thoughts and problems in the life of each child who reads books, bringing wonderful fantasies to children and courage to face adults.
The brilliance of the Daisy series is also that it takes into account the needs of parents who accompany the reading, points out the blind spots that are easy to ignore when facing children, and even triggers the reflection of adults. Adults can read out their children's minds, help them adjust their eyes and attitudes towards children, and provide interesting solutions that are close to children's thinking and needs.
The end of Daisy's series of stories is also often designed with scenes in which Daisy convinces her mother, or her mother ends up getting along with Daisy.
For example, in the "Clever Daisy" series (7 volumes of paperback), "Don't You Do The Same", Daisy always watches TV close to THE TV, always likes to lie down, eats cookies and always picks the best one to eat first... When her mother stopped Daisy, Daisy asked, "Don't you do the same?" So mom also found a lot of reasons to explain.
"Witty Daisy" series
Don't you do the same? 》
Of course, in the end, Daisy was still punished by a small "punishment" - being chased by her mother to scratch the itch in the garden.
"Really, Really" is also a book of Daisy's stories that the editor likes very much: before the mother went out, she instructed the new nanny Angela to take care of Daisy, and listed a lot of requirements for her: no random eating, no crazy play, going to bed before 8 o'clock, and taking a good shower and changing into clean pajamas... Daisy didn't do the same, and together with Angela, she lied to her mother.
Really, really! 》
Many of the rules we give to children are actually clear in their hearts, but occasionally it is the nature of children to rebel, when we learn to turn a blind eye, let the child release a little "resistance" in their hearts, and wake up the next day they will still be the obedient little baby.
It can be said that reading the Daisy series of stories is to build a smooth and unimpeded communication bridge for adults and children, and to create a beautiful and intimate relationship.
