(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Hellard. This time, Lum's three princesses disagree egotistically about who's the prettiest; a beauty contest is to decide the matter. En route, each princess does a physically demanding good deed that ultimately earns her the title "yuckiest," "drippiest," or "muddiest." Lum ties up her fabulous story line too quickly: the reader misses the princesses' reactions. Loose-limbed illustrations depict them as lovable scamps.
