Description

Recounts the adventures of the great American folk hero, Paul Bunyan, and his big blue ox, Babe, as they dig out the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, and the Grand Canyon
Have you learnt how the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River were first formed? How about the Great Plains and the Grand Canyon? Some people think these wonders were established by the forces of nature, but those folks clearly haven’t heard of Paul Bunyan, the “strongest, smartest, and tallest hero of the tallest of American tall tales.” Paul and his pal, Babe the Blue Ox, were responsible for creating some of these geographic features as they worked their way west with their peculiar lumber crew. Paul’s adventures begin when he’s just a baby (who can lift a cow over his head) and continue as he grows into the biggest lumberjack on the earth. All of the basic stories about Paul Bunyan are here in this rollicking tale, in addition to a couple of inventive incidents added by writer and illustrator Steven Kellogg.

Kellogg is well known for his stories about Pinkerton the Great Dane, retellings of classic tales such as Chicken Little, and illustrations for books such as How Much Is a Million? by David Schwartz. But Kellogg’s most important contribution to children’s literature is his series on American folk heroes, including Johnny Appleseed, Mike Fink, Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind Crockett, and naturally, the tallest hero of the tallest tale of all–Paul Bunyan. A great legend and great fun. (Ages 5 to 9) –Marcie Bovetz
