Review

"Hilarious." -- -- Booklist

Product Description

purchased are all stacked on top of each other at the bottom of a muddy little pond, he thinks he's been bamboozled. But McBroom knows he's got the better of the bargain when the pond dries up to reveal an acre of soil so rich that seeds spring up into full-grown plants in no time and nickels grow into quarters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mc Broom Tells the Truth, August 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm: Three Tall Tales (Paperback)
Sid Fleischman Came to me on accident. This book was a yard sale find. Because his words were so magical for me as well as my son, I had to find more. I wasn't disapointed when, at yet another yard sale I found McBrooms Ghost. It was so good. I read it to several children of various ages on a camping trip. Needless to say, it was all they could talk about. I've found Amazon carries all of the McBroom writings. I will purchase them all for my childs collection. These books may be old but I hope my son can pass them on to his children

5.0 out of 5 stars laugh riot!, May 27, 2001
By Timothy Ness (millard's prairie, wi) - See all my reviews
This review is from: McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm: Three Tall Tales (Paperback)
a refreshing back to the basics book that makes kids laugh and gives parents a good grin. Fleischman and Blake are a great combo as they bring out the hidden world of rural backwaters and corny jokes. my kids are all ears and big eyes as I read, and they love to hear the tall tales get taller. we've never regretted buying this ageless classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the reluctant reader with a sense of humor!, September 1, 2007
This review is from: McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm: Three Tall Tales (Paperback)
This is one of the books that hooked my son into reading. He was in second grade, and was a pretty reluctant reader, in spite of my regular read-alouds and efforts to find engaging, "living" books for him. This book had him laughing aloud repeatedly, and he read it in one sitting. It led to a great discussion about tall tales and exaggeration, and I found some older classic tall tales for him to read.

After tall tales, my son read and loved "Mr. Popper's Penguins", another funny book, and the Beverly Cleary Ramona and Henry Huggins books, also funny but not quite so outlandishly. He also liked the Junie B Jones series, in fact, he read through those before Cleary.
