Synopsis

Daisy's been grounded, which means no fun at all—no hopping, skipping, or parachuting! Stuck at home, she reflects on her misadventures: from her goldfish Freddie who thinks he's a dolphin, to the school name-caller Jack Beechwhistle, and hosepipes that don't do as they're told. If only she hadn't run out of pocket money, or picked up that strawberry dib-dab from the pavement—her absolute favourite sweet! Now, she's dealing with tummy trouble and plotting with her friend Gabby to turn next door's cat into a hippo. But first, she needs to find a word that rhymes with 'hippopotamus'!
