When young Hillary, comfortable with her round self, has a chance to fulfill her dream of becoming an actress, svelte sister Felice convinces her to lose weight for the audition. An encounter with a famed actress, round but glamorous, restores Hillary's contentment with her weight. The message is obvious, but the pastel-colored illustrations of the cat characters are amusing.
