Customer Reviews

My FAVORITE.

This book is definitely not a 'typical' Doctor Seuss book, but when it came out when I was 6 years-old it quickly became my favorite. The character of Mayzie is relatable to a young girl-- especially as children hit the age when they are trying to make friends! Her troubles with the daisy can represent the issues we all face when our own unique qualities set us apart from other people. A lot of reviewers complain because they don't think it is 'typical' Seuss book; however, I think we should judge the story not by how it relates to his other stories but rather on it's own merit.

one of our family favorites

I grew up with Dr Seuss and I learned to read by reading Dr Seuss. This book is one of my favorites. I can read this book over and over to my children and all of my children enjoy it (ages 6, 4, and 2). I have both sexes - 2 girls and 1 boy (4). My 6-year old reads this book on her own and we check this book out every time we go to the library. I am now ordering our on copy but could not believe the reviews; therefore, I decided to write my own review because I find this book so delightful and refreshing.

No umbrella required

The cover is misleading. No umbrella rides for Ms. Daisy! Excellent tale and great Seuss rhymes.

I love this book!!

I love this book because it is funny, and exciting. It is easy to read and it made me laugh. T.J. (4th Grader)

Not a typical Seuss, but my daughter LOVES it!

Hands down, this is my daughter's *favorite* Seuss book. At 3 & 1/2, she can practically recite it word for word. I was saddened to see the other negative reviews about the book, because I like the message in it - 1) Your family & friends will always love you, and 2) Fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. The book can be the spark for some interesting & thoughtful conversations on values.
