Thank you for joining us on the virtual book tour for A Tall Tale: How the Ostriches Got Their Long Necks and Long Legs by Scott Sollers, winner of the Mom’s Choice Award!

About A Tall Tale

This is the story of two rival communities living in valleys separated by a ridge. The Have-Alls live in a fertile, beautiful valley with their leader, Chief Somebody, and their prized pets, the Squatz. In the other valley, one more desolate and barren, live the No-Haves and their leader, Chief Nobody.

The No-Haves, always jealous of the Have-Alls’ pets, decide to gather the Squatz for themselves. What results is a fierce tug-of-war that changes the two communities—and the Squatz—forever!

Reviews for A Tall Tale

“A Tall Tale is a humorous and energetic fable, sure to appeal to family audiences and curious questioners.”—The Children’s Book Review

I enjoy a good fable and this one is a stretch of the imagination – I’m saying that to reflect the ostriches, not it being far fetched. The illustrations reflect the tribal vibes and were vibrant and engaging. It does look like the ostriches were cut and pasted in to the beautiful scenes taking away from the authenticity of the scenes. Many reviews reflect the priviledge of some. If privilege means working your land and community and the have-nots stealing what they don’t have, then yes that is part of the story.
