Storyline[]
The Cat in the Hat narrates a story about a girl named Mayzie McGrew, who mysteriously has a daisy growing from her head! This happens during school hours, so she's ridiculed by her friends and speculated by her teacher, principal, parents, and other adults, confirmed Mayzie's problem. The situation reaches its high point when Finagle steps in and offers Mayzie a place in stardom based on the daisy in her head. Mayzie herself, for reasons unknown, takes the offer not long before she finds out the hard way how fame & fortune can bring unhappiness. It's some time after her daisy disappears that Mayzie realizes that the love of her family & friends is what really matters. From then on, things are back to normal (except for a few of Mayzie's daisies occasionally sprout up every now & then).
