7 | !!Contains examples of: |
8 | * ExactWords: To stop Oluu from stealing eggs from the henhouse, Molly tells her: "Dogs must not eat eggs." Oluu later realizes that she had said "eggs", not "egg", so she thinks she's allowed to eat ''one'' egg. |
9 | * SwitchingPOV: Chapters alternate between Oluu and the human kids' points of view. |
10 | * WhatIsThisFeeling: Oluu ends up experiencing emotions she's new to, such as fear. |
11 | * {{Xenofiction}}: Oluu's point of view is very alien. For example, when she first sees a dog, her narration describes it as "a smaller four-legger, with a fifth appendage that swayed back and forth on the end opposite the foreparts." |
