Four classic American stories, "Tall"--not because of the height of the characters, but because the truth gets stretched. Storyteller Jim Weiss tells of Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, Pecos Bill, and the Fastest Draw in the West.

Listen and laugh. A family favorite.

My kids love audio books and any story telling CD's. However, this CD is extremely boring compared to other audio CD's we've listened to. There's no music, no sound effects, or even change of voices for very long periods of time. My 3-year old did not like it. My 5-year old tried to like it but could not follow the long winded story. The narrator has a great deep voice, but it can also put you to sleep. I would definitely not recommend this for preschoolers.

I really enjoyed this CD but I don't know that my daughter comprehended it. I plan to replay the stories a few times while we are in the car running errands it may make a difference since she will have nothing better to do than listen.

When I first put the CD in and started listening to the stories in the car I was wondering how much my 3 and 5 year old would get out of the stories. In no time both my daughters were asking questions about the stories or laughing at certain parts! I was surprised by how much they were understanding. I personally found the CD to be funny and giggled at several times. I especially liked whoever was reading it and the voices he did for each character. It was really entertaining! I'd buy this one again and again, for sure!

I personally enjoyed this CD but my 4 year old is a little young for them. She kept asking "Who is this?" and "What is he TALKING about?". She was trying to follow along but finally lost interest. I think she will enjoy them in a couple years. I'll save them for a long road trip when she is six :)

I really enjoy listening to these stories myself. I do feel like my four year old is a little young for them but I will continue to use this CD as the stories are priceless!

My kids (5yo and 10yo) love this CD, particularly the last story which is just hilarious.

We love this CD. We listen in the car while going places. My daughter always asks to listen to "MY stories", if we have the radio on. And usually I get very tired of my daughter's CDs. But, these stories are so cleverly told that I don't mind listening to them again and again (and again and again!), and often catch something I missed the time before.
