Daisy and the Trouble with Zoos

Overview

It's Daisy's birthday and she's having a special birthday treat!

Mom has invited Daisy’s best friends, Gabby and Dylan, on a trip to the zoo—and, best of all, Mom has arranged for Daisy to go into the actual penguin cage with the actual zoo keeper and feed actual penguins—real penguins, with beaks and everything! Trouble is, Daisy doesn't just feed the penguins, she "adopts" one to take home and everything.

Reviews

"Daisy, with her perfectly round face, determined, beady eyes and severe Joan of Arc coif, is a veritable icon of juvenile intransigence." —Publishers Weekly

"Perfect for confident readers." —The Bookseller
