Review
This story picks up where the legend of Paul Bunyan left off. What if he had a wife and kids? Paul may be able to claim forming the Grand Canyon, but his wife and kids can claim Mammoth Cave, Big Sur, Old Faithful, Niagara Falls, the Rocky Mountains and my personal favorite - the Colorado Sand Dunes!
This book really grew on me due in large part to David Shannon's wonderful illustrations - also featured in The Rough-Face Girl (a touching Native American Cinderella story) and The Ballad of the Pirate Queens. I think I can officially call myself a big fan of his work now! Picture the colossal Bunyans dressed in sportswear playing croquet in what looks like the Moab arches. Hysterical!
Highly recommend for all readers, but this would be particularly fun for a family planning a trip to some of these famous American landmarks.
