Louanne Pig in the Mysterious Valentine

(4) K-3 Pig Louanne is intent on deducing who sent her a Valentine signed "Your secret admirer." She finally learns from a shop clerk that the card was purchased by "a big fellow with a curly tail," whom readers (versus Louanne) will plainly see is her dad. The premise is old hat, but Carlson's swift pacing and energetic art make up for it.
