Charming, funny parable about tolerance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My kids, ages 6 and 3.5, loved this charming book almost as much as I did. It's the story of the Bottle family, who moves to a town populated by humans living in can houses. But the Bottles are not well received. "Those bottles! Why can't they be like the rest of us? Why must they always go around acting like bottles?" When the Bottles save the town from destruction, the humans finally see the virtue of glass neighbors. The wry narrative is accompanied by wonderful 1950's-style illustrations. This is the best children's book I read this year.
