DESCRIPTION:
"Paul Bunyan and Family!" according to A. Zerbach. This book was great! It was a lot of fun to read and it exposed my students to some monuments and features of the US that we might not get to!. And you thought you knew the whole tall tale?! It's a short bookgreat to read to kids.Just when you thought you'd heard it all about Paul Bunyan you find out about the accomplishments of his wife and children. For example: you've heard of Mammoth cave? Well. And what about when the kids are grown and Paul can retire?? And please. Don't look at the last page until you've read the whole book especially if you're interested in astronomy.. I give this book a 9 What a lot of people don`t know is that Paul Bunyan had a wife and two kids .His wife`s name is Carrie and their kids are Little Jean, the boy, and Tenny, the girl. The Bunyans have lots of adventures . They make a lot of landmarksalong the way like the Big Sur and the RockyMountains. I love the book. I like the book because they keep on making landmarks. I alsolike how the pictures show proportion.
A portrayal of a larger-than-life folk hero and his family introduces young readers to Paul Bunyan, his giant wife Carrie, and their king-sized children, Little Jean and Teeny, as they carve out famous sites in early America.
From Publishers Weekly One of the rootin'-est, tootin'-est, riproarin'-est heroes of American tall tales is given a whole new lease on life as Wood imagines an entire family of Bunyans. They produce two children, a "jumbo boy" named Little Jean and a "gigantic girl" named Teeny. Who can resist a retired Ma and Pa Bunyan, for example, dressed in leisure wear and playing croquet in the desert? Author and artist clearly had fun here, and readers undoubtedly will, too. Shannon (The Amazing Christmas Extravaganza) joins Wood in this rollicking ride with archly humorous illustrations. When Paul, the legendary lumberjack, meets Carrie McIntie, a giantess "banging a behemoth pickax against a wall," it's love at first sight. . Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
