What is Something Different about?

During Star Gazing Night, the Little Somethings gather to admire the stars. They spot a diamond star and a sapphire star, but then something unusual tumbles from the sky. With black ears, curly antennae and lots of legs, the mysterious visitor looks unlike anyone they have ever seen. Some of the Little Somethings are frightened, but Bob wonders whether their new arrival might not be so different after all. Together, they discover that appearances can be surprising, while kindness and understanding matter most.
