This retelling of Paul Bunyan, celebrates the large lumberjack and his companion. This book describes his logging skills and how they led to the creation of many natural landmarks, such as the great Canyon and the Great Lakes.

Readers of all ages will love the playful tone and whimsical details of this story, making it a perfect read aloud choice. This was a story that my current placement class also loved hearing in our tall tales unit. We then had a flapjacks and flannels end-of-unit party, which was a big hit!

This book is a lively retelling of the legendary giant lumberjack‘s adventures. The vibrant illustrations burst with color and humor, bringing the larger-than-life character and his experiences to life. This folklore celebrates themes of friendship and wonders of nature. Great for introducing folk tales to children!

Steven Kellogg creates amazing images to go along with this classic tall tale. Paul Bunyan has been adapted in so many different ways including into movies books and TV shows. This classic tale is given new life through this book. This book would make an amazing read aloud and could be connected to lots of extension activities.

Paul Bunyan | Steven Kellogg

Paul Bunyan is an American tall tale meant to focus on western expansion. The illustrations portray his larger than life actions and personality. As he tries to navigate through different situations his size often creates complications. The illustrations do an amazing job of showing the differences between Paul Bunyan and all of the people around him.

“Paul grabbed the camp dinner horn and blew a thunderous note into the Gumberoos‘ cave, determined to blast the meanness right out of them.“

And just because I can, here is another of me and my good friend Lauren. Obviously this is when I was pregnant for my son 😂😂😂. This was actually taken at our baby shower in 2014. I was dressed as a Greek goddess and my friend is dressed as Babe The Big Blue Ox (one of our other friends was Paul Bunyan).

Review: Paul Bunyan by Steven Kellogg, 1984 is a traditional children's book about a man with unusual strengths. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is very funny and unbelievable.
Blurb: This book is very similar to Johnny Appleseed by Steven Kellogg so they would go well together.
Quote: “All was well until Paul started rocking the cradle and stirring up waves.“

I also really love the illustrations of this book. They‘re simple to an extent, but so detailed that it covers every detail written.

A true classic - this used to be one of my favorite books when I was little. I remember I used to love all of the fun names in the book. My mom used to add voices too and that made it so much fun.

Paul Bunyan is a TL picture book, a tall tale retold and illustrated by Steven Kellogg. This book is a must RA funny twist that kids will enjoy. Paul Bunyan travels through our country with his friendly blue ox named Babe. Paul faces many jobs he has to tackle but never stops. The illustrations go above and beyond with detail that you can't miss out.

Floribelg http://www.kidzone.ws/creative-writing/tall-tales/index.htm in the link I provided a great resource for teaching tall tales where kids can make their own Paul Bunyan. The link supports UDL 3.3 guiding information through visuals and ESOL 15 by reinforcing the key concepts about tall tales. #UCFLAE3414F17 7y
CourtneyR Yes the illustrations look very detailed from the picture you posted. I also think reinforcing the key concepts is a great idea. 7y
SarahWynne I love TL! I remember learning about Paul Bunyan in elementary school. Great resource and strategies! Visuals are always great. 7y

This TL book is a classic tale of a giant of a man named Paul Bunyan and his trusty blue Ox named Babe. He was a lumbar jack who cut down trees like it was nothing and known for his strength and speed. I also love the illustrations in this authors version. Also here is activities to do after reading. www.readwritethink.org/resources/resource-print.html?id=315

So I was playing a trivia game with my class. The clue was something like mythical lumberjack who traveled across the American northwest with his blue ox, Babe. And no one got the answer. We start reading American folktales next week...

Riveted_Reader_Melissa So sad! But yes, I've also noticed with this generation the old folktales and even the tried and true nursery rhymes aren't being passed down the way the used to be. 8y
youngreadrshelf @Riveted_Reader_Melissa yes. I thought not knowing the nursery rhymes was because the kids I teach are 4th, 5th, and 6th. But I think they don't hear them anymore. 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @youngreadrshelf I don't think so either. I've noticed that with my nephew growing up (he's 17 now), everyday expressions I think he would know, and many ideas from those 'common' stories and rhymes just aren't common to his generation. 8y
