About the book
Mildred and Sam live in a tiny burrow underneath the daffodil roots. Sam is happy. Mildred is fidgety. No matter how hard Sam tries to fix up their house, Mildred insists that it is too small, especially if they ever have visitors. So Mildred dreams about the exciting adventures a new house could bring, but discovers the greatest surprise is about to arrive at her very own door.
