Illustrated by
David Clark.
Kristi's family starts a business posing as pets for owners who need training. Kristi, who makes mess after mess with her overexuberant behavior, wonders which pet impersonation would be just right for her. The cartoonlike illustrations verge on the grotesque (Kristi has no neck and her head is flat like a Frisbee) but are oddly befitting this weird story.
