I grew up with this book and it is one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books ever! I love how each of his stories seem to have a profound social issue within them, in this case it was about a girl who forgot about her family and friends through the excitement of fame and fortune because of her strange "daisy head" condition. She eventually realizes that nothing is more valuable than her loved ones at home, and as a result the daisy disappears- only to reappear on occasion. The book's rhymes are entertaining and the iconic Seuss illustrations complete it.

The artwork looks vaguely Seussian but his art had a certain roughness to it that is missing here. The rhyme also seems mismatched. The Cat in the Hat was shoehorned in as he plays no real part in the lot, but likely just there to make it seem more Seussian. It was finished and published posthumously, likely from an unfinished manuscript. While according to Wikipedia the illustrator was Joe Mathieu based on Seuss's sketches, the author who completed the writing is unknown as far as I can find.
