Illustrated by
R. W. Alley.
The one special day Mimi and her dad always share is threatened by his new work schedule. Mimi sulks, pouts, and rants, then resolves to make the best of it. Mimi's complete change of heart is unconvincing, but sweet pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations depict the pair's fun, Mimi's frustration, and then her emotional coming-around in wonderful detail.
