(3) K-3 Cow Effie wants to win a ribbon at the state fair, so she lets her pig friend, Petunia, give her a new look, a new walk, etc. Readers may predict that Effie will get a ribbon--but they probably won't guess what it's for. The be-true-to-yourself message is served with an entertaining side-order of ham: Helakoski's acrylics never lose the story's comedic thread.
