Bookroo's summary
Daisy Marsha Martin is always late, caught up in her whimsical adventures like saving the world or teaching stuffed animals to dance. But her chronic dawdling threatens her beloved mermaid swim class. If she can't make it on time, she'll lose her chance to continue her 'mermaid training.' Can Daisy find a way to balance her imaginative escapades with punctuality, or will her dreams of swimming like a mermaid slip away? Dive into Daisy's world of everyday silliness and discover if she can finally get it together.
From the publisher
Get ready with Daisy the dawdler as she tries (really!) to get it together in this very real, very funny spin on dilly dallying.
Daisy Marsha Martin is always late. For good reasons, of course. She’s busy saving the world, or teaching her stuffed animals to dance, or finding the perfect shirt to wear. But if Daisy is late one more time, then it’s no more mermaid swim class for her!
This is the perfect story for fans of everyday silliness and for every kid who has been told to stop dawdling.
