About this title

Review:

"Kellogg's uproarious picture book...draws on the legendary exploits of Davy Crockett's wife. From the moment she's born she's amazing....She grows tall and strong, marries Davy Crockett, and protects her family from a gang of hooligan alligators...The storytelling is wonderfully laid-back, combining the grotesque and the domestic with droll exaggeration. The pictures swing from wild comic chaos to an occasional sweeping view of the universe."--Booklist.

"A rollicking retelling. The exuberant artwork depicts Sally Ann's adventures with joyful humor and great energy." --The Horn Book
