The Most Important ThingAntonella Abbatiello, illustrated by Antonella AbbatielloIn this fable, animals each regard a particular trait as the one that matters most. When those characteristics are placed on different animals, the results become absurd, challenging each animal’s certainty about what is most important. Large color pages, including foldouts, present the animals and their misplaced features. The story’s emphasis on varied characteristics leads toward a message of unity and celebrates diversity instead of any superiority.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
