Even though Daisy Dawson is late for school -- again -- she can't help but stop to free a butterfly trapped in a web. And when she does, something amazing happens! Now Daisy can understand everything animals say, from the farm dog, Boom, to the classroom gerbils, to a singing-and dancing ant. And it's a lucky thing, too: when Boom goes missing, Daisy conspires with a horse and squirrel to come to the rescue. With sweet black-and-white illustrations, here is a story sure to enchant young animal lovers everywhere.
"This charmer, long on whimsy and adventure, is sure to appeal to newly independent and reluctant readers." -- School Library Journal
"Clear, precise language and well-rounded characters are pluses, as is a plot that moves quickly. Well-placed black-and-white illustrations that grace almost every page capture Daisy’s good nature." -- Booklist
