In “Rockaberry and Roll” Strawberry Shortcake shares stories centering around music. I love the little opening with the music of the garden. In the first story Strawberry Shortcake decides to hold a talent show and puts together a band. The girls must learn the value of working together and listening to one another. Again, Strawberry Shortcake’s optimism and sweetness shows how much easier it is to work out problems with kind words rather than mean ones. In the second story Peppermint learns that practice makes perfect and it is okay to feel frustrated and make mistakes because that is how we learn. There is also a nice little twist in this story about good and bad ways to help friends when Huckleberry tries to help build Peppermint’s confidence by fooling her. All in all I found Strawberry Shortcake’s stories, music, and lessons to be truly inspirational.
