PS
Mouse-child Sophie (Sophie's Terrible Twos) welcomes her new baby sister home in Jellyfish language; she growls in Hyena language. Her distracted parents don't listen: "use your words!" Then Granny greets Sophie in Martian--and Sophie doesn't need the disruptive behavior. It's Sophie's words that finally calm the howling baby. Sophie and Granny's special relationship comes across warmly in both text and pictures.
