Illustrated by
Christian Robinson.
In this companion to Gaston, poodle Antoinette--unlike her bulldog brothers--has no particular talent. But she finally discovers what she's good at when her friend Ooh-La-La runs off at the park, and Antoinette's bravery and doggedness save the day. Engaging acrylic illustrations in a warm, rich palette support the empowering tale, which is told with panache; even the typeface has personality.
