Illustrated by
John Manders.
Too much of a twinkle toes to lead the herd, a Wisconsin cow travels the globe trying to find work as a dancer, but her proficiency doesn't match her enthusiasm. When she discovers the conga she returns home to teach it to the other bovine wannabe hoofers. The caricaturish art and intermittently rhyming text have, like Lily, welcome spunk, but they don't have much substance.
