The perfect addition to every family's home library and just right for sharing aloud, American Tall Tales introduces readers to America's first folk heroes in nine wildly exaggerated and downright funny stories.

Here are Paul Bunyan, that king-sized lumberjack who could fell "ten white pines with a single swing"; John Henry, with his mighty hammer; Mose, old New York's biggest, bravest fireman; Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind, who could "outgrin, outsnort, outrun, outlift, outsneeze, outsleep, outlie any varmint"; and other uniquely American characters, together in one superb collection.

In the tradition of the original nineteenth-century storytellers, Mary Pope Osborne compiles, edits, and adds her own two cents' worth--and also supplies fascinating historical headnotes. Michael McCurdy's robust colored wood engravings recall an earlier time, perfectly capturing all the vitality of the men and women who carved a new country out of the North American wilderness.

Horrible. Do not recommend.
Color: 1PC Glint-Rainbow
Horrible! Do no recommend. The container is super small and it doesn’t spray well. It literally falls in clumps and is very wasteful. I would have returned it had I not been in a hurry and needed something quick for dance recital weekend.

Tiny. Expensive. Dont bother.
Color: 1PC Glint-Rainbow
I just paid $8 for ONE BOTTLE THIS SMALL??? and I hate the photos shows two bottles. Its like they want you to buy it thinking you get 2 for the price if you dont read the description. This is the smallest bottle. Not worth it for the price

Glitter bomb
Color: 1PC Glint-Rainbow
This dries quickly and looks very pretty, but beware the application process is iffy- I get glitter bombed every time I pick this up. It could be operator error- but I can’t control the application at all.
