Little Princess wants to win at everything, but her cousin wins the math trophy, Polly wins the painting trophy, etc. One last little trophy is reserved for the one who has tried the hardest, and for this no one can beat the Little Princess. The best-efforts-win message is contrived, but Ross's wacky pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations are entertaining as usual.
