The main character and her friend Camille are different. The main character wears animal costumes, while Camille loves math and speaks in numbers. The main character's cat costume prompted Camille's dog to bark, so it was decided another costume would be better. Camille suggested a frog. Discord arises when Camille sings the times tables during construction of the new costume, and the main character expresses frustration. After the main character come up with three “pros” and three “cons” of being a frog, they renew their friendship. Numerous numerals appear in a preponderance of the illustrations in this story of appreciating differences.
