(4) PS Illustrated by Joy Allen. "You like makeup, / gems, and jewels. / I like spaceships, / rocks, and tools." In this poem about a friendship between two girls, the narrator describes their similarities as well as their many differences, always returning to the refrain, "We both like being friends." The book approaches blandness, since Beaumont only hints at possible conflicts, but the bouncy rhythm and lively illustrations add energy.
