K-3Step into Reading series.
Illustrated by
John Kanzler.
Paul Bunyan himself narrates his larger-than-life adventures with Babe the blue ox. Colorful, imaginative illustrations complement this easy-to-read tall tale's exaggerations, such as a soup pot so enormous the cook needs a rowboat to stir it. The story's spell is broken, however, when Paul stops to explain the tale's origins--information better left to an author's note.
