How the crew helps the child participate.
The crew’s discovery roles give each character a way to contribute. POMMARU draws attention to a little detail; FEXLO is ready to test an idea; WOZZI gives an idea shape; TILLI-TU invites a story or explanation; PLOOBI compares the clues; and TRELBI looks for the relationship between them.
These approaches work together rather than compete. They are not labels for a child’s personality or ability. A child can notice a detail, draw an idea and explain a connection within the same page. The invitation to be the seventh crew member means their observation matters to the adventure.
