Illustrated by
Tina Schulte.
Gloria the cow knows she's destined to be a performer. When the other heifers fail to appreciate her unique brand of singing and dancing, Gloria sets out to find a more sophisticated audience. The cartoon illustrations are amusing, but the plot's lack of a traditional climax and denouement leads to an abrupt ending (Gloria finds immediate success once she leaves home).
