Tall Tales Told Right

Esther Shephard knows how to spin a yarn. These stories sound so conversational that they're great to read aloud or in one's head. Young or old, anyone interested in American folklore should pick up a copy of this book. It may not be suited for the youngest of kids (there is one part where somebody's brains come out, but then the cook replaces them with batter), but it is very enjoyable and overall very tame. Two thumbs up!

Lots of Fun to Read

Growing up I heard a lot of folk tales about Paul Bunyan. I was very amused by those stories. This book puts them all together for me. Very enjoyable to read. Lots of fun in these pages.
