Daisy and the Trouble with Life (Daisy series)

You absolutely can't go anywhere at all when you're grounded, soDaisy has plenty oftime to think about what she's done. If onlyher pocket money hadn't run out and if someone hadn't dropped a strawberrycandy on the pavement and if strawberrycandy wasn'tDaisy'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 thebathroom 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, andgarden hosesthat 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 hernext door neighbor's cat into a hippo. When she's un-grounded and off the toilet, of course.
