About This Book
On the day of her birth, nothing about Angelica Longrider suggested that she
would one day become the greatest woodswoman of Tennessee. In fact, the newborn
was "scarcely taller than her mother and couldn't climb a tree without help."
It's not long, though, before Angelica is vanquishing varmints such as
Thundering Tarnation, a huge bear with a taste for settlers' winter rations, and
swallowing entire lakes in a gulp.
This tallest of tall tales is an original from an intriguing newcomer to
children's books, Anne Isaacs. In the tradition of Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill,
the story of a self-sufficient, tornado-wielding, unflappable heroine lopes
along at a perfect pace. Paul O. Zelinsky's folksy oil illustrations are painted
on cherry, maple, or birch veneers, with old-fashioned frames; the extravagant
and fanciful paintings have garnered the distinguished illustrator yet another
Caldecott Honor. (Zelinsky has already received one Caldecott Medal for Rapunzel
and two Caldecott Honors for Hansel and Gretel and Rumpelstiltskin.) The dry and
fantastically far-fetched humor of the author-illustrator team will make readers
of all ages feel as though Angelica herself has tossed 'em in the air so high
that they are still on the way up at nightfall. (Ages 4 and older) --Emilie
