Annotation: Looking for wit, wisdom, and inspiration all within the pages of one useful book Read Something Else. Life is a turbulent journey, fraught with confusion, heartbreak, and inconvenience. This collection of wit and wisdom from New York Times bestselling author Lemony Snicket is unlikely to help. It includes a new introduction filled with curious aphorisms, a handful of never-before-seen-or-heard quotations, and fan favorites from works over the years. These dubious offerings, collected from Snicket's books, unpublished papers, and more, have been made pleasing to the eye by illustrations, select fan art, and design flourishes.

Freckleface Strawberry is now best friends with former bully Windy Pants Patrick. When kids at school point out how dissimilar they are (e.g., girl and boy), they stop playing together--until realizing that their similarities outweigh their differences. Pham's illustrations highlight the kids' opposite physical appearances while amusingly emphasizing the importance of their mutual hobbies, such as playing monsters.

PreS-Gr 2 Freckleface Strawberry and Windy Pants Patrick are best friends. Their relationship is evident not only through their conversations, but also through the way they connect in the simple yet detailed Japanese brush pen and digital illustrations. However, their amity is challenged when the boys at school tell Windy Pants that boys don't play with girls, and the girls tell Freckleface that boys stink. Though they are both influenced to abandon their friendship, they are miserable without each other. Again, an illustration brings their closeness back to the story, in a chance meeting on the playground, when the two look at each other and realize that they love spending time together. By the end of the story, Freckleface and Windy Pants have learned how to disregard their peers and enjoy what they have in common. Though some might hastily regard this as a book for girls, with its sherbet-colored cover and main character redolent of Strawberry Shortcake, it has something to offer anyone willing to listen. In this third Freckleface book, Moore again shows that she can tap into the everyday lives of children who overcome the challenges of peer pressure and intimidation.
