In this charming picture book sequel to How Dachshunds Came to Be, true friendship is not just about looking past each other's differences ... it's about discovering and celebrating those differences.
“Not only is A Tall Tale About a Dachshund and a Pelican beautifully illustrated by Scott Ward, but its author, Kizzie Jones, has found a way to speak to children about a theme so very important in today's world: fear and concern about those who are not like us. Using a charming Dachshund and a stately Pelican to illustrate the possibility that we can even be friends can then follow up in meaningful conversation with their children. As a family therapist, I appreciate books like this one that entertain and also leave a lasting message.” --Ellin Snow, MSW Clinical Social Worker
"A delightful story to read aloud. In lovely language, set by the sea, a marvellous friendship story unfolds. The unique description of the dachshund and pelican similarities had my three Granddaughters ears perk up. Their differences created an opportunity for discussion. I thoroughly recommend this book!" --Amazon Reader, November 27, 2016
"A delightful story, well told, good illustrations and would be easily understood by the author's target age group." —The Reader, November 29, 2016
