A charming story about the ploofers who are planning to do something special, all together. Then they notice a gap – one of the ploofers has chosen to do something different! Immediately the main body of the ploofers turn their backs and criticise the one who chose to be different. Then one ploofer appreciates the beauty of what the individual ploofer has done. The positivity spreads gradually and the mood changes to acceptance and, finally, celebration. A simple story with a positive message about accepting and valuing difference. The cutaway cover is particularly appealing. Age range 3 – 5
