Aloha, Dolores

(3) K-3 Dolores enters her cat, Duncan, in a cat-food contest and assumes she has won the cruise to Hawaii; her pragmatic older sister, Faye, is skeptical ("Duncan won't even eat Meow Munchies"). Because Faye's consoling words when Dolores loses aren't patronizing and because the text and watercolor illustrations are so relentlessly funny (Dolores is quite the hula dancer), this spirited lesson in humility succeeds.
