American Tall Tales - Story CD. Available from Toys 2 Go. An essential part of American folk culture, these uproarious stories will have you laughing out loud -- and occasionally pondering. Meet Paul Bunyan, taller than the trees and mightier than the rivers; Johnny Appleseed, whose gentleness and generosity make him a beloved legend, and Pecos Bill, whose outrageous Texas-sized exploits make him the greatest of all cowboys. There's even one of Jim Weiss' own tall tales, a tongue-twisting, hilarious take on the old West.
Weiss' spunky characterizations, interspersed with a smooth narration, make this great and inspired family listening. -Publisher's Weekly. For Kids 5 to 16 years
