The Friendship Club: Strawberry Shortcake's friendship letter to children around the world elicits an invitation from Crepes Suzette to visit Pearis and the Pieffel Tower. Some of the other children and Custard are not so sure that it is wise to visit a strange land - a place where people and customs are "sooooo different," but Strawberry assures them that seeing the world through different eyes is one of the best things about making new friends.
A Festival Of Friends: Friends from all over the world - the Arctic, France, the Rainforest, China - descend on Strawberry Land to take part in the first Great Friendship Festival. Although Strawberry thinks the festival will provide a wonderful opportunity to see the world through different eyes, she also believes that in spite of their differences, in the end most of the kids will be the same and like the same things.
