Getting into trouble has never been so much fun! Another funny tale about Daisy's adventures. Daisy's getting into trouble again, and this time it's at her school Sports Day. Daisy's determined to win her race, and she and best friend Gabby have been training hard. They're going for gold. They're in the zone. They're sticking to a strict athlete's diet of Mars bars, Twiglets, and cheese strings. Trouble is, everyone else in the class wants to win too.

When a monster is born, there are two possibilities... each episode in this comical story presents a choice between absurd alternatives ("Either it sits quietly and does its homework . . . or it eats the Principal"), followed by an equally absurd--and frequently unexpected-- outcome ("If it sites quietly, that's that. But if it eats the Principal, there are two possibilities..."). A subversive and satisfying take on "What if . . . ?" illustrated in bright pick-me-up colors, When a Monster is Born will have readers imagining unlikely stories of their own--and laughing out loud.

Daisy's back, and getting into more trouble than ever—this time as a detectiveNo matter the occasion, Daisy just can't help getting into trouble! When a series of burglaries baffle Daisy's neighborhood, Daisy wants to help. Along with Gabby and Dylan, she turns detective and sets out to catch the culprit. Trouble is, detective work is hard when you're not allowed to go further than the end of the road.

Tails, toes, noses — and a hint of each animal peeking out — let preschoolers guess who’s hiding.Whose tail? Whose toes? Whose twitchy nose? Who is that hiding behind a big hunk of cheese? What has a cold wet nose, a big pink snout, or a long gray trunk? In this lift-the-flap book for the very young, simple, repetitive text and bold, bright illustrations combine to make a funny guessing-game of a book.

When a monster is born, there are two possibilities―Either it's a faraway-in-the-forests monster, or . . .it's an under-your-bed monster.If it's a faraway-in-the-forests monster, that's that.But if it's an under-your-bed monster, all sorts of comical things can happen.Read it at bedtime and laugh your pajamas off . . .or read it during the day and laugh your socks off!

You absolutely can't go anywhere at all when you're grounded, so Daisy has plenty of time to think about what she's done. If only her pocket money hadn't run out and if someone hadn't dropped a strawberry candy on the pavement and if strawberry candy wasn't Daisy's absolute favorite, things could have turned out differently. Who knew that it had invisible red germs that are so totally teensy and that Auntie Sue says give you tummy trouble? Daisy's trips to the bathroom are interspersed with hilarious musings about the trouble with everything, from her goldfish Freddie who thinks it's a dolphin, to the school name-caller Jack Beechwhistle, and garden hoses that don't do as they're told. Now, if only Daisy can find a word to rhyme with hippopotamus, she and Gabby can magically turn her next door neighbor's cat into a hippo. When she's un-grounded and off the toilet, of course.
