The Littles and the Secret Letter

I thought this story was extremely strange. I don't think it had any educational value other than allowing students to practice reading and comprehending stories. Because of its size, I think this story would best suit third grade students. However, I don't think I would ask any of my students to read this story because it was really weird. It was about a family of little people the size of bugs called The Littles. The Littles lived in the home of The Biggs- which was a family of normal sized people. This story just described the jealousy of Littles and how they really just wanted to be like the Biggs. What I thought was most strange is that for no apparent reason, the Little Family all had a tail.
Activity: Creative writing assignment- what would you see or do if you were living in a normal sized home but you were only two inches tall?
