Illustrated by
Lynne Avril.
Lily McBloom wants to show off her favorite frilly underpants, but her stick-in-the-mud big sister Marigold insists there are rules about such things. Though Lily sees exceptions everywhere (the neighbor's laundry line, for instance), Marigold won't budge, so Lily finds another way, donning her underpants over her clothes. Zapf's text feels a bit overwritten, but Avril's buoyant, bubblegum art livens things up considerably.
