Illustrated by
Paul Schmid.
Peanut has a new blue ball that she doesn't want to share with Fifi. Fifi conjures temptations to entice Peanut to play: designing a hat for the ball, introducing a seal named Bob to do tricks with it, and more. Strong graphic shapes and heavy black lines set against a warm, creamy ivory background help convey the story's pleasing tone, despite the girls' tempestuous dynamic.
