When bossy Maddie arrives, she demands that everyone play "monsters" her way ("monsters never go to super, amazing monster dances" much to neighbors Ally, Kai, and Petey's chagrin). Fed up "Ally-saurus" channels her inner dinosaur to stand up to Maddie in this familiar lesson about individuality. Colored lines cleverly contrast with the otherwise simple black-and-white palette to convey the kids' vivid imaginary games.
