Great Flower Girl Book for Beginning Reader

The flower girl in my wedding is in 2nd grade and is a big fan of Daisy Jane books. She was so excited to have a flower girl book that she could read on her own!

This is a great little story every little flower girl and prospective bride is just going to love!

Daisy Jane loved it when her "best babysitter" Allie came over. She was lots of fun to play with. They played all kinds of games like Superheroes, Princesses, and, best of all, Brides. Sometimes she was the bride and other times she played the flower girl. Her black cat, Mr. Moon, was always the groom. She got all dressed up from head to toe and even had a basket of paper flowers. On the top of her head she had "an old curtain for her veil" and on her feet she had on "Allie's pink shoes." It was lots of fun, but there was no real wedding, but one day she got a surprise. Allie was really going to get married and Daisy Jane was going to be the flower girl! It was so exciting. "Weddings were even better than kittens!" Of course Allie would have to find someone other than a cat like Mr. Moon to marry, but she assured Daisy Jane that she had one and would love him, "even when he has chicken pox." There were lots of things to do before the wedding and Allie talked about many of the things she would have at her wedding, including finger sandwiches and fireworks. Just before the wedding Daisy Jane would have to shop for her dress. The big day was soon coming, but there was an unusual occurrence at the wedding and everything went crazy. Would Daisy be able to save the day? This is a great little story every little flower girl and prospective bride is just going to love! The imaginative and delightful Daisy Jane is an easy character to fall in love with. This is a level three, "Step Into Reading" book that is geared toward the more confident reader. It is divided into short chapters with and "easy to follow" plot. If you're looking for beginning chick lit, this is just perfect!

Short, Sweet, & Secular Flower Girl Book

This book was a gift for a five year-old girl who loves hearing all about my recent wedding (I'm her teacher/baby-sitter). This book is short, sweet, and secular-- the latter aspect being quite refreshing as many comparable books I considered take place in a church. It would have been nice to see some diversity in the characters, as they were all Caucasian.

Daisy Jane Becomes a Flower Girl

My 6 year old daughter loves weddings and can't wait to be a flower girl one day. This book was perfect for her.
