Mr. Tall is a Giraffe. Mr. Small
is a Mouse. They are as different as can be, not
only in size, but in how they live their lives. In
fact, they are so different, they argue over who is
the better animal. They argue so heatedly, they
don't even notice danger approaching. Once they stop
bickering and start co-operating, Mr. Tall and Mr.
Small not only reach safety together, but they
develop and appreciation for each other's unique
qualities.
This is a great tale of
cooperation, friendship, tolerance and respect.
Pre-readers will enjoy the rhyming tale, and can
easily relate to the dilemma. Kids reading on their
own are quickly swept up in the suspense of this
well-written story with a lesson.
