I think this is the only book we've read in homeschool that my children have cheered when we finished and declared that they are so glad we're done with it. Some of the stories are fun, but several are quite tedious. I'm glad to have introduced them to Tall Tales, and equally as glad to be done with them.

Blake really enjoyed the silliness of some of these tall tales. This collection included some characters I have never heard of, as well as some new adventures for familiar characters. Overall it was a well done compilation and fun introduction to tall tales.

Read through out the year for Year 3 and the boys loved it. I thought most of them were great too, but not excellent! They sure had fun learning about these people and giggled quite a lot.
