Daisy-Head Mayzie

The Cat in the Hat (the most famous Dr. Seuss character) 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 any other adults confirmed of Mayzie's problem. The situation reaches its high point when Finagle steps in and offers Mayzie a place in stardom, based from the daisy on her head. Mayzie herself, for reasons unknown, takes the offer, not long before she finds out the hard way how fame and fortune can bring unhappiness. It's some time after her daisy disappears that Mayzie realizes that the love of her family and friends is what really matters. From that point on, things are back to normal (except for a few of Mayzie's daisy's occasional sprout up every now and then).
