Daisy Dawson frees an ensnared butterfly and can suddenly, inexplicably, understand all creatures. When her dog friend disappears, she works with the animals to save him. Daisy is a dawdler, and the story also meanders before getting to the (offstage) dog rescue, but the message of compassion will enchant animal lovers. Lighthearted ink and pencil sketches emphasize Daisy's sweetness.
