(3) K-3 Determined to conquer her shyness, dog Amandina decides to put on a free show. Ruzzier's meticulous illustrations in modest colors depict the heart-tuggingly wee Amandina fixing up a theater, making costumes, building a set, mailing invitations, hanging posters--only to have the curtain rise to an empty house. Fortunately for readers, who will undoubtedly be rooting for her, Amandina ultimately triumphs.
