Illustrated by
Diane Goode.
Louise wants to star in the school play and when her best friend, Fern, gets the lead, she stops talking to her. Pink-heavy watercolor illustrations accompany the story, in which the pals are reconciled when Louise feeds Fern a line at a critical moment. The cartoon endpapers are mostly in-jokes for adults. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
