(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cecilia Rebora. This riff on the biblical story features a perfect but boring society. The residents decide to build a tower to heaven from which they could "rule the earth and the sky." After a thunderstorm, however, everyone inexplicably begins speaking a different language and the tower remains unfinished. The cheery illustrations and humorous text enhance the occasionally illogical story's light mood.
