The third addition to the illustrated chapter book series about word-loving Daisy, 'Daisy's Big Night' follows Daisy as she faces a dilemma about what to exhibit at her class's end-of-the-school-year Student Showcase night. An invitation to a grown-up poetry party sets off a series of events that lead Daisy to realize that the perfect solution to her problem has been with her all along in her green notebook filled with her favorite words.
