Dog's braggadocio ("I'm much bigger than Ladybug. I win. I'm the best") hurts his four animal friends' feelings--until they remember their own talents ("Actually, I can fly much higher than you, Dog"). Here Cousins abandons her customary flat primary and secondary palette and revels in a loose-handedness that invigorates this terrifically sassy call for humility.
