Mar 06, Cindy Rollins rated it liked it Shelves: , audiobooks , morningtime. My new student and I listened to this book on audio. The narration was excellent and most of the stories were fun too. A few of them bogged down but this is a great introduction to American stories.
I don't often do audio with students but I am happy we did with this book, the voice helped to make the book more compelling.
We followed up many of the stories by looking at cartoons of tall tales, mostly 's Disney, on YouTube.

Read with all my kids together since my oldest missed it in AOY3. Feb 22, Angela Boord rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-aloud , children-s. The boys loved this book. Sep 03, Frank Theising rated it it was ok Shelves: childrens. Overall a mixed bag. This is a collection of American folk tales. The more popular tales Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, etc were okay, but the rest ranged from mediocre to awful. My wife ordered this as a read-aloud after seeing it on Ambleside Online, a Charlotte Mason-based homeschool curriculum.
