ABOUT THE BOOK

"I just don't feel like myself without my tail," he says.

REVIEW
Churchill's Tale of Tails provides not only plenty of giggles but an important message about the dangers of pride and self-absorption. Churchill loves his 'perfect little tail.' But one morning he wakes up to find it missing. When he is unable to find it, his good friends, Billy and Gruff, set out to help him find a new one. But Churchill becomes so absorbed in trying out different tails that he neglects his friends, only to discover that his friends are more important. The illustrations are really cute with lots of fun details to look at. My favorite illustrations though are the ones with Churchill and his new tails, they are really quite amusing. I also thought the message was beautifully integrated into the story. All in all, a real winner.
