* AnAesop: Each story is focused on teaching one of some sort-- most have some sort of social message.



* FantasticFlora: "Garden Variety Pickle" featured the kids in the main cast and Todd's dog Benny making an abandoned lot into a garden. They planted things such as glitter flowers, a flower that could eat rocks and a tree that grew several different types of dog biscuits. None of these, however, were the focus of the story. This instead, went to a small scraggly weed with no unusual properties that Pickle was caring for because he found it beautiful, the story having AnAesop about respecting how different things are beautiful to different people.

* PaperThinDisguise: Played with - in "Super Sophie," Todd creates a superhero outfit for Sophie that is a reasonable disguise - most notably covering up her hair-stalks that she uses to fly that are her most recognizable feature and an obvious dead giveaway. Despite this, her general appearance is still enough that everyone, especially Stella, eventually pieces it together, especially since the voice she uses really isn't all that dissimilar from her normal voice.
