Illustrated by
Diane Palmisciano.
The Spaldeen Super Pinkie is the object of Annie's obsession. Everywhere she goes, Annie is accompanied by the soft, fuzzy, pink rubber ball, despite the many who prey on it--a teacher, a neighbor's dog, the building superintendent. Tension mounts when the building super catches Annie's ball, but the conflict is resolved satisfyingly. Animated illustrations match the fun of the story.
