Illustrated by
Steven Kellogg.
A too-oft-repeated moral mars an otherwise amusing tale of Clorinda the cow, who leaves the farm for the big city to seek her fortune in the ballet. The story of her big break is told in sometimes singsong rhyme. Kellogg's characteristically humorous illustrations, particularly of the bovine ballerina's attempts to fit into the corps de ballet, are sure to please.
