Summary: Fun fantasy
Review: I loved the McBroom books as a kid, which is why I got them for my own child. These fun stories, told in first person for added effect, carry the elements that has made American tall tales a unique literary genre (i.e., a mundane setting made extraordinary, the wild exaggerations told in all seriousness, vague references to others who can substantiate the story). This McBroom book was my favorite, because it describes some classic animals from American "whoppers." My highest reccomendations overall.
