Daisy and the Trouble with Chocolate

So when Daisy’s mum tells her they’re going to Chocolate Land as a special treat, she is REALLY excited! PLUS she has been chosen to look after the class hamsters, Pickle and Pops!

My daughter has read, and loved, all of the “Daisy and the Trouble with….” books and this is no exception. It is the Easter holidays and Daisy has been chosen to look after Pickle and Pops, the class hamsters. Even better, Daisy and her mum have two free tickets to Chocolate Land. With so many exciting things ahead of her, what can go wrong? Well, knowing Daisy, quite a lot. It isn’t that she means to create disaster and mayhem while organising the Easter Egg hunt for her neighbour and how did she know that hamsters were not allowed to go to Chocolate Land…

These stories are not only great fun for children, but parents, reading aloud, will sympathise with Daisy’s mum, as events unfold. We love reading these books together and my daughter loves all the characters – including best friend Gabby and naughty Jack Beechwhistle. A great series, which do not need to be read in order, but are all stand alone stories.

My daughter says she loved it because it was all about chocolate 🤣

Another great book from the Daisy series. The great thing about these books is probably being able to read them in no particular order yet still know what goes on. They r rlly funny and great books for younger readers

Oh my, this book is fantastic

This is most definitely my new favourite Daisy book and incredibly funny...and also talks a bit about the spirit of Easter. I love Daisy and her best friend Gabby and the visit to Chocolate Land brought back plenty of memories of taking my own sons to Cadbury World where my youngest managed to put the chocolate stirring spoon in his mouth and force them to stop production while they cleaned it!. The Daisy books are perfect for ages 6 to 9 to 99 and I defy anyone to read them without laughing.

I gave 5 rating because it was silly. There were too hamsters called Pickle and Pops. Pops was always hungrier than Pickle. Daisy had free tickets to Chocolate land. It didnt go right. It made me laugh a lot.🤪

It was laugh out loud funny. I like how Daisy was making up random things about Easter.

It's really funny about the poos

Think this is the best of the Daisy books Grace and I have read so far. The description of chocolate land was great and Grace seemed to really get into this one.

Read out loud to my almost 7 year old. Perfect books for her age. She loves this one.

Selfish and stupid, Daisy is a bitter commentary on our society.

[Alice English · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's been on my want to read since 2019 so when I saw it in the library I had to get it to read. Another great daisy adventure

[Shelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

Son loves these books. I wish Daisy would learn her lesson though, she blames everyone else for her own behaviour and poor choices. The description of chocolate land was the best part.

[Clarabella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny, Cadbury’s world type setting. Had a twist I wasn’t expecting!

[Skyler Pritchard · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect book for Easter 🐣and the exact book for people that are beginning to read chapter books and these books are hilarious 😂
