  Staff Pick--" Rabbit and Owl are neighbors who happen to live side by side in two small abodes, each unique to the owner. Of course Rabbit has a garden. All is tranquil until the garden begins to grow tall enough to block Owl's view of the countryside. In a classic tale of one-upmanship, enhanced with rollicking illustrations of the ensuing bigger and taller structures, this book will keep young children enthralled right up until the final scenes. How tall can a house get? Just wait and see!"

Synopsis of Too Tall Houses:  Good friends learn a small but important lesson

Owl and Rabbit are good friends and live in two small houses next to each other. They are perfectly happy . . . until Rabbit's garden gets in the way of Owl's view. So Owl builds his house a little taller. Only that blocks the sun from Rabbit's vegetables. So Rabbit builds his house taller. And soon it's a house-building frenzy and the two now not-so-good friends have the two tallest houses in the world!

All it takes is a gust of wind to remind them that maybe living smaller and together is a much better way to remain friends.

The creator of Meet Me at the Moon has delivered another wonderful animal fable for today's world.
