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!

"Gray manages convincingly to get inside the seven-year-old mind to create a laugh-aloud read for newly independent readers."  —Irish Independent "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
