AN ORIGINAL TALL TALE, UPROARIOUSLY TOLD,
By buzzeocyll@mix-net.net (West Buxton, Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Higgins Bend Song and Dance (Hardcover)
This book is written to be READ ALOUD! The music of the language, the surprise of unlikely phrases crafted with the liberal use of hyphenation, the authentic voice, and the lively story are everything a tall tale should be! Martin has three irresistible characters here - Simon Henry, Potato Kelly, and Oscar, the uncatchable catfish. Sneed's wildly exaggerated paintings do perfect justice to this joyride of a story!

This review is from: Higgins Bend Song and Dance (Hardcover)
Will Simon Henry catch the legend of Higgins Bend, Oscar, the sneaky catfish? No one ever has...but Simon is determined. Get this book and find out! This great book is brought to you by two of Kansas's finest, author Jackie Briggs Martin and illustrator, Brad Sneed. The story is the perfect length (each page is one or two paragraphs, tops) and the illustrations bring joy and energy to this classic tale of the one that got away...or did he? Your children will ask for this one over and over!
5.0 out of 5 stars

My 7 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this together, taking in the water color illustrations and watching Oscar, the fish,transform Simon, the fisherman.
