A masked superhero (in pajamas and pigtails) lays out her abilities. "The day I discovered I could fly, I knew that I was special." The text plays it straight while the illustrations slyly show what's really happening (she flies...off the slide and into the sandbox). The oversize pages feature dynamic compositions in muted shades on lots of white space.

Lizard Leon "has to go poo." But: "OH NO! NO PAPER!" Fortunately, Leon finds a pair of old underpants hanging on a tree. After Leon finishes, he's accosted by a voice berating Leon for his poor judgment and demanding that he clean the soiled undies. The book's large pages and expressive illustrations give Leon's morality play lots of space to unfold.
