Jackrabbit McCabe and the Electric Telegraph is a brand new tall tale about a boy whose legs kept growing and growing until he was faster than even the race horses. (Note: titles and covers are affiliate links.) I hope you enjoy them as much as my boys and I did. In fact, I was surprised to find such a wide range of picture books. I was quite happy that I was able to include a diverse range of American folktales on this list: Creole, African-American, American Southwest, pioneer tales and more. The stories and tall tales for kids books I chose for this list are colonial or post-colonial American folktales. Some examples of legends in well-known popular tall tales are Paul Bunyon, Davy Crockett, John Henry and Mike Fink.īefore we go any further, if you are looking for Native American Folktales I have that book list here. What are tall tales, exactly? Tall tales are over the top stories with the characteristic language of outrageous claims, usually of physical strength or skill. American folklore is rich with tall tales. American folktales are an important way for us to connect with our shared history and pass down cultural values from generation to generation. Folklore and fables get passed down for a reason. Smith, Nottingham Natural History Museum (UK), Plesiosauria.My sons, my youngest especially, adore folktales. However, I’ve taken these suggestions on board as possibilities if I ever have an opportunity to name another new species of prehistoric reptile myself!-Dr. While Cope and Marsh might have been liberal when erecting new species, Cope did not describe a NeverTopThisOne-Ginormous-asaurus, nor did March announce a WhoAreYouKidding?-Extravaga-saurus. The rhyming, rhythmical text is snappy and funny, and the story is supplemented on every page with charming stylistic artwork by G.F.
