Smell the daisies / written by Judith Henderson ; illustrated by T.L. McBeth.
"Smell the daisies is the third book in the Big Words Small Stories series. Each book in this series features features five multi-syllabic words that are fun to say and use, in five quirky short stories. In this book, we meet the adorable Oleander and her pet salamander, Sally Mander. Oleander likes to keep busy, and Sally Mander likes to take it easy. As in the first two books in the series, the pair are visited by the Sprinkle Fairy and her helpers, who have slipped a big word into each story-and its pronunciation and definition after. The five stories pack a lot of laughs, whether it's Sally Mander PROCRASTINATING instead of planting her share of daisies in the garden, or demanding that a bird REGURGITATE a worm that was rightfully hers."-- Provided by publisher.
