Tommy destroys his classmate Lucy's art. After she finally comes clean to her mother, Lucy's teacher is informed, and Tommy the bull and Lucy the lamb end up being friends. The problem-solving process is overly simplified, but the story may comfort kids in similar situations. Accomplished illustrations, featuring a sweet, rainbow-sweatered protagonist, elevate the book above its problem-story premise.
