PS
The young narrator's friend, Daisy, is confined to her house with the chicken pox for a week. The slight tale, illustrated with playful watercolor pictures, emphasizes counting. Each day the boy sends special treats to Daisy in care of his stuffed animals (who, in the illustrations, come to life): one letter, two bunches of flowers, three coloring books, four apples, and so on.
