(4) PS A new student just wants "someone who could be a friend. Someone to eat with." First woodland animals, then other children join her picnic. When a spaceship shuttles in a new student, the class is ready to befriend this new, antennaed arrival. The alien metaphor is forced, and the inclusion message unsubtle, but soft, pastel-colored illustrations add a welcoming glow to the story.
