With a nod to the Yid­dish folk­tale about a house that feels too small, this pic­ture book skill­ful­ly tack­les the top­ic of chil­dren who want more and more ​“stuff.” Daisy’s room is already crowd­ed, and with her birth­day only three weeks away she’s plan­ning on get­ting lots of presents. Her solu­tion? A big­ger room! For­tu­nate­ly Daisy’s mom makes use of the oppor­tu­ni­ty to dis­creet­ly teach her daugh­ter a les­son by bring­ing even more of Daisy’s stuff into her room while promis­ing that the addi­tions will make the room big­ger. When Daisy can’t make her way through the room with­out bang­ing and bump­ing and falling over her things, she decides that she has too much stuff and packs up what she doesn’t need or want for her synagogue’s Mitz­vah Day rum­mage sale. The result leaves Daisy with ​“the per­fect room.” Col­or­ful dig­i­tal­ly paint­ed illus­tra­tions in bright tones out­lined in black depict the clut­ter with­out over­whelm­ing, and Daisy is cute and expres­sive with her wide freck­led face and pig­tails. In a cul­ture that decrees that hav­ing more is being more, it is refresh­ing to find a book that broach­es the top­ic of over-con­sump­tion as well as the idea of giv­ing back. Includes a note about Mitz­vah Day activ­i­ties. Rec­om­mend­ed for ages 4 – 7.
