Too Tall Houses | Gianna Marino

2 posts | 3 read

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.

Very cute, with great illustrations. Owl and Rabbit take issues with each other's houses and try to outdo the other, until it all falls down. A lesson in not need to “keep up with the Jone‘s” and how to get along with the neighbors.

This TL picture book, Too Tall Houses, written and illustrated by Gianna Marino tells the story of two neighbors an owl and rabbit and their struggle with living next to each other. This book would be great for SR and I would use the Before, During, and After Reading strategies found here: http://www.readwritethink.org/professional-development/strategy-guides/shared-re...

Mwinship The UDL guideline 6.3 about facilitating information and the ESOL strategies 8 about direct instruction can be met with this book. #UCFLAE3414F19 5y
