Happy Families: Miss Dirt the Dustman's Daughter

Daisy Dirt is the richest girl in the world, yet also the poorest! She has the biggest room in the world – and also the smallest! How can this be? Join Daisy as she zooms between two homes: one with her dad, who is a dustman on the dole, and one with her mum, who has married a Duke with a Daimler. When the Duke loses his fortune and Daisy’s dad wins the lottery, everything turns back to front and inside out! A classic comic story of family life for beginner readers, written by much-loved author Allan Ahlberg.
