Whoever programmed my personality made me overly accommodating. Mom hates being called out. She looks up and flashes her peroxide-infused teeth. Heat radiates across my face. A crack appears in her glass smile. I tighten my mouth. Miller and entered one of my paintings in the art show. I swallow the lump in my throat. I could never enter a painting into a school competition for everyone to see. I consider them actual, physical pieces of my soul. Taro closes the refrigerator door and groans.
How can that possibly go unnoticed? Mine feel like someone has thrown salt in them. She never notices how hard I try, how much I care, or that maybe I just need to be noticed every now and then. I bought a pound cake from the grocery store. I flinch, pausing before I reach the first step.

Starfish don't eat the outside of clams. They only eat the inside of clams. If a crab or a rock gets one of their tentacles, then it grows a new one. It is very good. You should read it.

Starfish Book Review
The text is insulting - the endnote that says "Starfish are not really fish - they are sea stars" could most certainly have been included, but the book is dumbed down by the text talks down to the reader or read to. An attempt at poetic prose comes out stilted and forced, and there are some difficult words for a stage one reader, such as tangle, oysters, and different.
The book sho Many first readers are repetitive, and this title from the Let's-Read-and-Find Out Science series is no exception. The book shows great diversity, but makes no attempt to connect this microcosm to the larger picture. The book compares the different varieties without going into detail about any one. This is not a book that can be used for school reports. The appendix is titled "Find out more about starfish" but instead of listing things like specific habitat, lifespan, number of young, how much sea stars eat per day, etc.
Further activities include copying and coloring starfish and making a collage, or going down to the ocean to observe them. Other better books on the topic are recommended. This is not a satisfying book, and since this is a topic of great interest to children, it is a shame that such a poor job was done. The only redeeming qualities of the book are the gorgeous watercolor collages by Robin Bricklaw.
