From School Library Journal:
Grade 2-5-- Tall tales are always popular with children, and this collection will practically leap from the shelf into many an eager hand. Its large format, attractive layout, and appealing illustrations will beckon to youngsters. The five stories--"John Henry," "Old Stormalong," "Slue-Foot Sue and Pecos Bill," "Strap Buckner," and "Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox"--are related in language that captures the flavor of frontier America while remaining accessible to children. Text and illustrations are exuberant; the robust heroes and heroines are bold but gentle souls who all come to a peaceful or an appropriate end. Especially endearing is the spread depicting a brawny Paul Bunyan holding the newborn Babe in his hands. An excellent choice for all collections. --Eve Larkin, Chicago Public Library
