Once upon a time in a remote and mythical land called I Want It lived two communities, each situated in their valley separated by a low mountain ridge. One community was called the No-Haves and had a chief called Nobody. The other community was called the Have-Alls and had a chief called Somebody. The valley of the No-Haves was barren with leafless trees and almost no water. The valley of the Have-Alls had a lush green forest with abundant ponds and springs. They also had small pets called Squatz that helped them with their chores and even played with them. The No-Haves hated the Have-Alls for this and decided to steal their Squatz one night. But they had not accounted for a guard posted to watch over the Squatz. Find out what will happen to the No-Haves and the Squatz in Scott Sollers’ A Tall Tale: How the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs.
If you are looking for a children’s adventure, Scott Sollers’ A Tall Tale: How the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs is just what you should be looking for. In an intriguing plot, Sollers whisks young readers away from reality and into a land of magnificent imagination. Sollers undoubtedly has a knack for great storytelling. This robust adventure will have youngsters hooked. The beautiful colorful images complemented the text. Through the story, Sollers ingeniously teaches kids to be selfless, and at the same time teaches them the virtue of forgiveness. If the Have-Alls had shared their Squatz and resources with the No-Haves, perhaps the No-Haves would not have tried to steal the Squatz. This book is charming and I loved it. I’m looking forward to reading more of Sollers’ amazing work.
