(4) K-3 Jellyfish Edgar complains about being constantly misidentified as a fish to some support-group-like starfish, who aren't fish either. Beneath his gripes ("Everyone always says, 'Edgar, you're overthinking things.' / But jellyfish don't even have brains!") is a solid point about how we shouldn't let labels define us. What the loud, cartoonish illustrations lack in decorum they compensate for with humor.
