Lynne is a precocious child. She dreams that the mannequin in the expensive clothing store her dad takes her to is better than her father and he would be perfect. She calls him Ken because he reminds her of the doll. The along comes a certain man to the store that is even better than Ken. He's got lots of blonde hair, built like an athlete and is all attitude. Maybe a little too much attitude because Lynne decides he wouldn't make a good dad. I think this makes Lynne realize that even though her dad is far from perfect he is alright.

Clever and intelligently told - the story of a young girl (and her father) and the dreams inspired by the shop store mannequin and how they play into how she sees her Dad.
