But trying to work at home... In this delightful comedy, New York theater critic Lawrence Mackay has his hands full when he puts the bright lights of Broadway behind him and moves to a country house. But trying to work at home in the midst of the Mackay family proves nearly impossible: his beautiful wife, three boisterous young boys, one infant, and one lovable English sheepdog provide endless distractions and constant chaos. Worst of all, when Mackay finally does become successful, it goes right to his head -- and suddenly he ends up caring more about his own popularity than anything, or anyone, else. [More]

Reviews for Please Don't Eat the Daisies
It's so ho-hum, it's hard to stay awake through it. And the title? One of the Mackay kids eats the daisies at the new house. Somehow, in the book that seemed a lot funnier.
