(2) PS The pals from Best Frints in the Whole Universe are now going to "skrool." They listen to their skreecher, read bloox, and navigate social dynamics, such as when a new frint comes between them. Again, the story's copious humor comes from readers recognizing the similarities between Planet Boborp and Earth. Bright, blobby, and pointy illustrations capture the characters' recognizable emotions in an out-of-this-world school setting.
