Illustrated by
Renée Graef.
Tall-drink-of-water Paul Bunyan becomes smitten with larger-than-life Lucette (complete with her giant cow, Nel, to pal around with Babe). But Lucette is no pushover, and she'll have nothing to do with Paul unless he proves himself worthy. This clever tall tale, written in an authentic and playful voice, incorporates an environmental message. Graef's folksy illustrations add warmth and humor.
