Illustrated by
Marylin Hafner.
Lucille prepares a ballet performance for her family on her fourth birthday and the show comes off beautifully, to the surprise of her other siblings. Lasky convincingly portrays both Lucille's pre-birthday excitement and her brother and sister's annoying attitude of superiority transformed into admiration. Hafner's illustrations of the porcine family are light and cheerful in this realistic, funny story.
