Too Tall Houses

(3) K-3 In this modern fable, Rabbit and Owl live peacefully in two small houses atop a hill. Then Rabbit's garden interferes with Owl's view, and their one-upmanship begins. Both build taller and taller houses until, at last, the outrageous structures come tumbling down. Detailed gouache and pencil illustrations capture the homey environs, fantastic houses, and the modest home the friends ultimately build--together.
Reviewer: Sheila M. Geraty
