(3) PS Aunt Tizzy, returning from safari, has some empowering advice for her niece, Myrtle, who is being harassed by a bully: "I told [the lions] to stop being rude, and if they continued, I simply roared back." In terms of capturing a child's sensibility, this story compares favorably with Kevin Henkes's work, and the illustrations, especially of Aunt Tizzy, are inspired.
