Back to all work

A picture book from Rainbow Puppet Productions

The Tall, the Tough, and the Tiny

It's all about working together

Cover of The Tall, the Tough, and the Tiny

A fire destroys all the food on the plains. There's a warehouse of food on the edge of the animal preserve, but working alone, the Giraffe, the Elephant, and the Mouse can't get to it.

They must overcome their differences and work together — and perhaps they can survive. This book celebrates the practical value of working as a team.

From the stage to the page

The book was adapted from a stage production. David operates a puppet version of the Giraffe — and he also created the voice.
