(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Teague. Pelly doesn't have tentacles on her head like her Martian classmates: she has a fluffernobbin, and bossy Tera thinks that's weird. Not wanting a special class visitor to think she's weird, too, Pelly wraps her fluffernobbin with rubber bands, but the visitor (who also has a fluffernobbin) shows Pelly that she's special. This warm story about feeling different is complemented by Teague's funny cartoon illustrations.
