Review
With characteristic Dr. Seuss illustrations and a whimsy typical of the author, this is the story of Mayzie who sprouts a daisy on her head. Of course, everyone is alarmed and their instinct is to cut it off, but it is a part of Mayzie and she runs away rather than letting that happen. She finally figures out why she has grown a daisy (to figure out if people love her or not - they do) and the daisy goes away and Mayzie returns to her regular daisy-less life though it does pop up every now and again. A strange fable for accepting yourself for who you are and as per most Seuss books, a long read. Not an essential purchase though it would pair well with Chocolate Touch for elementary readers (grades 2-4).
