Publisher’s Book Summary: This is the story of two rival communities living in valleys separated by a ridge. The Have-Alls live in a fertile, beautiful valley with their leader, Chief Somebody, and their prized pets, the Squatz. In the other valley, one more desolate and barren, live the No-Haves and their leader, Chief Nobody.
The No-Haves, always jealous of the Have-Alls’ pets, decide to gather the Squatz for themselves. What results is a fierce tug-of-war that changes the two communities—and the Squatz—forever!
“A Tall Tale is a humorous and energetic fable, sure to appeal to family audiences and curious questioners.”—The Children’s Book Review

MY REVIEW
I cannot express enough about how much my daughter and I are enjoying this incredible book! The story is everything and the illustrations truly bring the story to life. This is a book that will have your imagination running on overdrive and I love how the author brought this book to life via his clever writing style. A Tall Tale ~ How The Ostriches Got Theri Long Necks and Long Legs is all about the No-Haves and the Have-Alls and the differences between them. You also learn about the adorable little Squatz and how the Squatz eventually become Ostriches….. which explains how they got their long necks and long legs. I do not want to say too much as to not ruin the fun story, but rest assured that this book is a fabulous read that young readers will want to enjoy over and over again. I truly love that and I too enjoy reading it with my daughter and highly recommend this book to be a part of your child’s reading collection. Get your copy today!

Wow I don’t know what I would do with that squabble. After 4 years serving on my little condo board, I’ve given up trying to settle petty squabbles
