About this listen
A celebration of a child's growing self awareness, and a prime example of how books can contribute to this. Whether brave or shy, strong or weak, in the end, the young boy celebrates all different and apparently contradictory parts of himself.
A Child's Play audio production.

Big as a mountain and stronger than a grizzly bear, Paul Bunyan was the greatest lumberjack ever to swagger through the North American forests. All the larger-than-life characters in Paul's supporting cast are here, including Babe the Blue Ox, eating her ton of grain a day, and Hotbiscuit Sally, with her acre-and-a-half griddle. The outrageous adventures of this quintessential American hero represent the very best in the proud tradition of American storytelling.

It's a song.
This is not a story, just a song with a steady picture.
Unfortunately, I bought it before sampling.
My little one loved Napping House so much. I figured little one would enjoy this one and the illustrations, too. I was quite wrong.
