Description

A bright June morning finds Daisy Havens jolted awake by a frantic knock and a chorus of chatter spilling through the key‑hole. She rushes into a bustling nursery where mischievous youngsters, a troop of pet monkeys, and a lively menagerie have turned the house into a whirl of clamor, spilled water, and playful chaos. As Daisy scrambles to rescue her wayward toothbrush and dry a soaked carpet, the scene swells with witty banter and the earnest attempts of her older siblings to restore order.

The Havens household, with its eccentric aunt, caring “Mamma,” and a parade of curious animals, becomes a stage for gentle humor and heart‑warming camaraderie. Listeners will be drawn into the vivid, Victorian‑era setting where every corner hides a new surprise, and the children’s spirited antics bring both laughter and a touch of tender chaos. It’s a lively portrait of childhood wonder, perfect for anyone who remembers the boundless energy of a house full of kids.
