Half-bear, half-pig Agatha feels "a little different from everyone else." When she starts kindergarten, she hides because she doesn't feel she has a special talent like her classmates, who pipe up on why they think Agatha's special. The message is well received, but Agatha's passivity is disappointing. Soft color washes and patterns pop on delicate, shaded line drawings.

A book for readers who love bunnies, fairies, and Where's Waldo? Rabbit friends Princess and Fairy are invited to the queen's party (their removable invitation comes in a tiny envelope attached to the page). Guided by clues in singsongy rhyme, readers will comb through the detailed, pink-heavy spreads helping find "pretty things" for the friends to bring to the shindig.
