Dr Seuss is either liked or loathed. I have colleagues who won't have his books in the room because they can't bear the burden of either reading him or hearing him read, whilst others (including me) find his silliness and reeling rhyme irresistible. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this unusual tale of Mayzie who suddenly sprouted a daisy out of her head, found it brought her fame and fortune, but missed her friends, finally finding them again after the daisy had performed the ultimate sacrifice. Well, yes, it is silly and long and all in doggerel. If you like Dr Seuss, you'll love it. Otherwise, leave it to the children, who'll probably adore it.
