Illustrated by
Peter Catalanotto.
After her older brother gets her in trouble with their mother, a girl fantasizes her revenge. What's Lyon's psychologically astute masterstroke? The girl directs her rage ("When you get little and I get big…") not at her brother but at a safer target: her defenseless doll. Catalanotto doesn't always manage facial expressions, but his painterly illustrations get everything else right.
