Note: I received a paperback copy of this book at ALA Midwinter 2020. Ok, it was long, but still a fairly quick read. Definitely a boys' book, with fistfights, practical jokes, braggadocio, etc. Poor Slue-foot Sue gets put in her place but good. Also glorifies the process of clearing the plains for Indians and buffalo to make way for cattle. But it's an engaging story, readable and accessible even to modern children. If I were a parent I'd read it with my child and use the controversial bits as teachable moments. There are good bits about courage, honor and egalitarianism, etc., too. And the pictures are marvelous - so alive, expressive, and joyful.

Despite the claim in the intro. re' broad humor," I didn't find this all that funny. And now I'm going to read my childhood favorite, [b:Pecos Bill and Lightning|9572074|Pecos Bill and Lightning|Leigh Peck|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1288033620s/9572074.jpg|14458911]" Full review: ( http://bachlab.balbach.net/coolread4.html#pecosbill ) in summary: probably the best collection of stories of the apocryphal legend of Pecos Bill, winner of the 1938 Newbery Honor and beautifully re-produced with original artwork. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
