Tajar and Teacups and the Range Ranger and More

This is a classic camp tale told each summer throughout the USA. At Clearwater Camp... it continues to be an annual event that campers and counselors looked forward to. Flying teacups and that wicked Tajar offer opportunities for the imagination to run wild and campers still initiate their own stories upon hearing the wonderful tale of this mythical animal. A story that can be enjoyed by one and all - this edition has wonderful illustrations that should not be missed.

Camp Counselor Needed Equipment!

When I was a camper, my counselor would read Tajar tales to me at night. I loved to hear about the misadventures of Tajar and when I was very young and had a very huge imagination, I swear I really did see Tajar right before I left camp! Now that I am a Girl Scout counselor (at the same camp I went to as a child) I continue the tradition and read Tajar Tales to my campers every night!

Most imaginative kids book ever!

I received a copy of Tajar Tales in 1967 when I was 9 years old. It was, and continues to be my favorite kids' book. I've read it to my own childrens' classes over the years. I am tickled to find that it is back in print!! Now MY copy (a first edition) can have a rest!!

A Uniquely Magical Classic

This story was first read to me when I was a child at camp. The Tajar is such a fascinating character. I even named my own dog after him!!! After 15 years, my dog has passed but I still have Tajar Tales to read again & again!

3 completely original stories to tell at summer camp.

If you ever see a tajar once you forget what it looks like. But if you see a tajar twice you forget to forget what it looks like, which can be very dangerous.First published in 1924, Tajar Tales are the completely original adventuresof Tajar and the Range Ranger. Lucky summer campers have already heard these unique, funny (and not-at-all scarey) stories told round the campfire by enlightened camp counselors. If you are looking for something different, I recommend this book. ESPECIALLY for jaded, kids-of-the-world, who think they've seen and heard it all.
