Sky High — Germano Zullo

In this charming illustrated tale, two competing neighbors begin embellishing their houses, only to find themselves caught up in a race to build the tallest, most decadent skyscraper featuring solid gold doors, diamond-encrusted pillars, grand ballrooms, expensive paintings, live tigers, and indoor swimming pools -- with consequences inevitable, and not. Kids will love spotting the funny details hidden in this witty take on an age-old moral, while their parents -- particularly any who've ever undertaken a remodel -- will chuckle with recognition.
