网友对American Tall Tales的评论
Varying collection of tall tales. Used it for my 5th graders to access Common Core standards by boosting a curriculum-mandated tall tale to a compare/contrast assignments using these tales. The tall tales are a good length for the students to read and discuss on their own. I also recommend it for 4th grade teachers when they investigate the different American regions. Large (but not huge) text makes it good for copying to use w/ the students
I bought this book for my 2nd grade class to go along with our Westward Expansion/Tall Tales study, and the kids love this book! Students always choose this book for their self-selected reading time. My class loves Osborne's Magic Tree House series and finds it a real treat to read another type of book from her.
My son and I laugh and laugh over many of these quaint stories of American Tall Tales and legends. We purchased the book for BoyScouts tall tales study. The book is large and has delightful illustrations throughout. The fanciful yet simple language in the stories is delightful and easy to read and understand even for the youngest of children being read to by their parents. A bit of American Wilderness.
I would give this book 4 stars for the ease and convenience of having most of the major American folk tales and heroes in one volume, but I would have to give it 3 stars for readability and interest. These stories are actually much more interesting than this book makes them.
I think that perhaps the author, in trying to combine as many different original sources as possible for each story, ended up forsaking style for thoroughness.
Tall tales, when done well, have much more poetic flow than Osborne's do. I thought I was perhaps being too picky, but the fact that my two kids (both story lovers and avid readers) were COMPLETELY uninterested in the stories in this book validates what I had concluded - this volume is pretty much uninspired.
I bought this book for a Creative Writing Assignment I am doing with a class of 5th graders. I read them one of the stories and then asked them to write their own versions, using one of the characters from several of the other stories. These stories, re-imagined by Mary Pope Osborne are written in such a way that keeps any age of reader interested. Accompanied by wonderful wood-etched drawings care of Michael McCurdy, it allows a child, who has very little understanding of the way things worked before planes and cars, to get a feel for our early American times and the way these larger than life characters lived.
