Day-dreaming Daisy McCloud...is the wondrous story of a little girl who has her head in the clouds. She is always in trouble for day-dreaming in class and that means there are dark clouds on the horizon. One day, she looks out of her classroom window to see clouds in the shape of a giant skull - and that begins a scary adventure which ultimately teaches her an important lesson. The skull-cloud floats down and wraps Daisy’s school in a fog. From that moment on, all the lessons are monstrous: The art class is taught by the ghost of Vincent Van Gough, who’s cut off his ear; the cookery class is taught by witches making “shockolate sponge” and “scary cakes”; the headmaster’s skeleton makes a startling appearance in biology; and the maths teacher saws himself in half to demonstrate fractions. That’s not all. There is even a PE lesson with a monstrous football match, featuring players such as Georgie Beast, Frank Lumpard, Chopper Harris, Nobbly Stiles and – controversially ­- a vampire striker who bears an uncanny resemblance to Luis Suarez. This is the sixth book in the fantastic Monstrous Morals series which is aimed at scaring primary school children out of their bad habits. The books are fun, educational and rapidly becoming collectors’ items. Daydreaming Daisy McCloud follows the popular Fartin’ Martin Sidebottom, Black-toothed Ruth Black, Nose-picking Nicholas Pickering, Fidgety Bridget Wrigglesworth, and Messy Bessie Clutterbuck. Daydreaming Daisy McCloud is the perfect book for parents with children who are always getting told off for day-dreaming in class. If you haven’t got the foggiest idea what to do about it, leave it to the Monstrous Morals.
