May 16, 2009: PAUL BUNYAN! A LOVABLE CHARACTER FULL OF FUN AND EVERYTHING LARGER THAN LIFE! MY SON DID A WONDERFUL JOB ON HIS 4TH GRADE BOOK REPORT WITH THIS BOOK. HIS PROJECT OF A LIFE-SIZED (MY SON'S SIZE) PAUL BUNYAN CAME OUT GREAT COMPLETE WITH A RED CHECKED SHIRT, BOOTS AND CURLY BEARD. HE ESPECIALLY LIKED THE WAY BABE, THE BLUE OX, NEVER LOST HIS COLOR EVEN AFTER HE WARMED UP FROM BEING IN THE BLIZZARD. HE NOW UNDERSTANDS WHAT A FOLKTALE MEANS AND IS EXCITED ABOUT READING MORE. LOOKING AT PANCAKES MADE ON A GRIDDLE THAT WAS GREASED BY LITTLE MEN WITH BACON TIED ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THEIR FEET WAS ESPECIALLY FUNNY. AND THE WAY THE MEN TOOK A BALLOON UP TO THEIR BUNKS AND A PARACHUTE DOWN WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE PARTS. TAKING A PINE TREE TO COMB HIS BEARD MADE HIM SMILE. WHAT A CONCEPT! GREAT FUN EASY TO READ BOOK!
