DiPucchio ( Crafty Chloe) tells a poignant tale, despite implying that gendered behavior results from nurture: raised with feminine poodles, Gaston “did not like anything brutish or brawny” like his bulldog kin, and rough-and-tumble Antoinette “did not like anything proper or precious” like her fellow poodles. it just didn’t feel right.” They longingly gaze back at their former families, and their adoptive mothers miss them. Gaston and Antoinette “could see that there had been a mix-up,” so they trade places: “There. Bulldog, herself the mother of four: three roundish bulldogs and Antoinette, a poodle. Poodle dotes on her four puppies, three “no bigger than teacups” and one-Gaston-“the size of a teapot.” Although he strives to be dainty, Gaston stands out from his sisters.
