The Play´s the Thing: Strawberry is made to feel self-conscious about an old, patched-together rain coat that she has.
When the kids put on a play version of Cinderella, Strawberry and the others are able to see that it´s not what you wear that counts, but what you are. The Costume Party: Peppermint Fizz wants to exclude a new girl, Blueberry Muffin, because she´s different - in the way she looks, lives, talks, etc. When a dress-up party is set-up, Strawberry gets the other kids to play a prank on Peppermint that makes her see the value in even being different..
