This is the first in a series of picture books about a village inhabited by animals, by an award-winning illustrator. Welcome to the village of Sandy Edge, beside Lapping Water Lake. All sorts of animal families live there: the Rabbits, the Hedgehogs, the Jumbos and the Zebras. This story is about Daisy Rabbit who loves going to her friends' houses but always feels homesick if she stays the night. She goes to Nelly Jumbo's and Deborah Zebra's and Nipper Hedgehog's, but each time, although everyone is very nice to her, she ends up feeling sad. But her mum has an idea. Why doesn't Daisy sleep in the tree house with her friends? So she does - and she doesn't feel homesick a bit! Penny Dale has illustrated The Stopwatch, Once There Were Giants, Rosie's Babies (shortlisted for The Kate Greenaway Medal and winner of the Best book for Babies) and The Mushroom Hunt, and her own stories Bet You Can't!, Ten in the Bed, Ten Out of Bed, The Elephant Tree, All About Alice, Play With Alice and Laura and Wake Up, Mr B! (commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal).
