Miss Sally Ann and the Panther by Bobbi Miller
It’s a wonder to behold, a writer settled into her groove, matching the subject matter closest to her heart with prose that never fails to delight and enthrall. Bobbi Miller is laying down some mighty fine prose with the ease and skill of a master wordsmith, and we readers (listeners too!) are the joyful recipients of her storytelling skills.

Miss Sally Ann has had many great adventures, but one of the tallest tales about her is the story of when she met Fireeyes. Fireeyes was a panther, huge and black. When the two of them saw each other in the deep forest, they both wanted each other’s fur. Miss Sally Ann thought that Fireeyes’ hide would keep her toes nice and warm. Fireeyes wanted the bear-fur coat that she was wearing to keep his shoulders warm. After gazing eye-to-eye, the two of them began to fight. It was an epic battle, and...more
Miss Sally Ann and ole Fireeyes Panther engage in a ferocious battle in this tall tale. Trees are toppled over and a giant gorge dug out by Fireeyes mighty claws in this epic wrestling match. Finally, Miss Sally Ann and Fireeyes meet eye to eye,smile and become best friends. White birch timbers frame illustrations adding to the dramatics of the legend. Reviewer 17
This is a new tall tale, written in the spirit of Mike Fink and Paul Bunyan. Miss Sally and the panter square off, each wanting to steal the other's coat. After a brawl so fierce that it curdles the Milky Way, the two come to a new conclusion.
Less a tall tale than a long-winded fight. I found the illustrations to be flat, and many of the made-up words ("hugeceously" "terrifiacious") unpronouncable. Not my cup of tea.
A lively, fanciful tall tale featuring Davy Crockett's sweetheart and a panther she tames. Somewhat reminiscent of Anne Isaacs's Swamp Angel.
A little long on the down-home made up country words, but great illustrations and a fun story.
The two fight to a draw and instantly become friends. That's kind of it.
Fun to have a tall tale featuring a woman. Not as many as readily know.
