Editorial Reviews

Review

Odds Bodkin’s dramatic storytelling voice lends an aura of excitement to any audio, but is a particularly effective choice in a collection of tall tales enhanced by sound effects ranging from Celtic harp to guitar. These Bunyan favorites are excellent dramatic works which should enthrall both adults and kids. -- Midwest Book Review

From AudioFile

Odds Bodkin's name alone will delight listeners, and his energy-filled stories can electrify a car or room full of children. The tall tales of Paul Bunyan are made even more outrageous by Odds. The array of voices, accents and characterizations occasionally overshadows the actual fable, but this doesn't stop the fun. Odds generates all the music and sounds, creating a fully-involved performance. The "master talesman's" headlong energy draws in his listeners. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars A great tape!, May 28, 2000

This is one of our family's favorite tapes. Paul Bunyan tales capture everyone's imagination and Odds Bokin knows how to bring them to life. One of the best things about this tape for parents is that as often as your children want to listen to this tape, you will enjoy this one time and again! A real hit. Some of the stories are familar such as Babe the blue ox but others are new and wonderful - the limbless forest and bedcats. You'll never sleep with your cat again without thinking of this story.

Remember the Disney movie about Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox? I loved it! But this is better. My children can use more of their imagination when listening to this then the would if they were watching it. Odd Bodkins is so much fun to hear telling this story. I really enjoyed it as much as my kids did. And my six year old is thrilled to know the legend of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. I am also thrilled to know that it isn't from Disney.
