4. Is having friends important to your being happy?
5. What happened when ‘little blue’ hugged ‘little yellow’?
6. Why didn’t papa and mama blue recognize ‘little blue’?
7. When mama and papa blue think that green is not “little blue” were they right?
8. How did the parents realize what had happened?
9. Can you think of a situation where things are not the way they look?
