A classic tall tale in easy reader format. A little too long for my storytime tots, but it's a great summary of Paul Bunyan.

1. Genre- Traditional Literature
2. Awards- None
3. Grade Level- K-2
4. We could read this story when discussing tall tales. There are many different traits that make a tall tale a tall tale, including exaggeration, a hero, and problems that are solved in humorous ways. I could read Paul Bunyan along with one or two other tall tales and after going over these elements of a tall tale, have the students pick out these elements in the different stories. This would allow them to truly grasp what makes a tall tale what it is.

The tall tale of Paul Bunyan is about his footprints forming the Great Lakes and after he chopped down a lot of tree, the Great Plains were formed. Tall tales consist of: exaggeration, a hero, and problems that are solved in humorous ways. I would read the story to the students and use this book as an example of finding tall tales in reading. Once I feel like my children understand I would give them a tall tale worksheet and they would have to pin-point each element that tall tales consist of.

June 12, 2016This is the story about how the Great Plains and the Great Lakes came to be. This story would be good fun for students to read when learning about the mid west and the folktales that go with it.
