PS
Cat Lucy is a know-it-all. Toshi the panda does things differently from Lucy: he eats with chopsticks, plays "strange" music (on a lute), does yoga instead of gymnastics, etc. Lucy loses it ("That's NOT how you do it!") but comes around when Toshi makes her an origami crane, then offers to teach her how. Cute, candy-colored illustrations help overcome the story's obvious message.
