Problem-solving is something that’s cross-curricular and a powerful tool that every child must be equipped with for science, math etc. Daisy takes enough time before coming up with a solution for her mother, and she is very clever in her proposition.Anyone that does not like peas will sympathize with Daisy. There is a beautiful personification at the start of the book, where peas are said to be ganging up on Daisy. The story follows a simple and comedic pattern where Daisy always responds the same, “I don’t like peas.”

Dog sit on a log is a good lesson book on rhyming words. You can have pupils work with each other and point out several rhyming phrases as they read this book. You can have the children find out what makes such words rhyming words. Additionally, you can have the kids share different rhyming words they find throughout the entire text and also have them play a scavenger hunt to find other words throughout the book that can be used as rhyming words. For example, frogs, logs, dogs etc. Her mother goes to extremes to make her eat peas, and it’s the high level of extremes that makes this story funny. It will resonate with most kids, too, because every parent wants their kids to eat healthy, including eating vegetables which are not the tastiest of foods among kids and most adults. Dog on a Frog is a picture book that talks about different animals and where each animal should sit. Despite this, the frog wants to change the rules of the game and rearrange where the animal should sit. For instance, the frog says that the dog should sit on a log rather than sitting on the frog. In return, the dog asks the frog where the bears should sit, and he responds that they should sit on the stairs. Kes Gray is an English author of children’s fiction books.
