Daniel Kelly's The 13th Tail is a delightful read.  Uncle Wilby has come to spend time with his twin nephews and their sister.  They love the stories he tells.  He has to check which stories he has told them.  Uncle Wilby then has to create a new story for them.  It is the story of Wilburfortnum, a little horse who is always looking for greener grass.  He has to learn what and where that greener grass is.Just like for Wilburfortnum, that is a lesson for us all.  It is done so well that I had to think about it before realizing how cleverly Mr. Kelly wrote the lesson into the story.  I also liked that he put 13 things into the book for me to look for and count.  I only got eight of the 13 but, again, it was cleverly done.This is the perfect book for all ages.  It will engage your youngsters and make you play along looking for those 13.  Well done, Mr. Kelly!
