Who Wants to Be a Poodle? I Don't

(4) K-3 Poodle Trixie Twinkle Toes hates being pampered by Mademoiselle Brulée and staff, so she strives for a rough-and-tumble image. Though the narrative tends toward being self-indulgent and overlong, all is forgiven because of Charlie and Lola creator Child's mixed-media art. The milieu may be Eloise at the Plaza, but the style--chic textured and patterned outfits; swirling, rippling text--is all Child.
