Its a beautiful day, and Daisy and her mother are going to the playground. Daisy wants to wear her favorite dress. But mother says that its too cold outside. So, what should she wear? Her green checkered pants are too small, the striped pants are too big, and her favorite sweatshirt is in the wash. What will Daisy do? CCCCCCCCMüller's breezy story centers on an independent-minded young rabbit who refuses her mother's help when it's time to get dressed. "No, thanks. I'll dress myself," Daisy insists, adding, "Rootie will help me." Rootie, her toy carrot, springs to life and rejects Daisy's choice of a purple dress, saying that she hates purple and asking if Daisy has any orange clothes instead.

Alas, the youngster's orange sweatshirt is wet and hanging on the clothesline, and other clothing hurdles follow: her green checked pants are too small, her striped pants too big and her blue sweater is at Grandma's for mending. As Daisy resolutely rules out each wardrobe option, her mother's patience wanes. Daisy dons the very outfit her mother had attempted to hand her at the start. Brigitte Müller adds playful and appealing flourishes to her brightly hued, childlike art, including wall and floor coverings that mimic the colors and patterns of Daisy's apparel.
