APPEALS TO: MANY

A sheep and a goat saw each other and immediately started a rivalry.  First they started jumping on smaller things trying to out do each other.  Pretty soon cars and houses weren't high enough.  Soon they were competing to climb the highest landmarks in the world.  Their global adventure culminates on the top of the tallest mountain.  They both become scared when neither of them can find a way down.  Can two rivals learn to co-operate?

Paolini has authored  a fun way to teach competition, teamwork and friendship.  Arnaldo's illustration's are cute and animated with humor.  I like the large fold out pages.
