"Children are vastly amused by our American tall tales. 'Paul Buyan'...'Pecos Bill'...'The Jack Tales'...are as indigenous to the United States as popcorn, and too funny for children to miss."--"Christian Science Monitor"
" Pecos Bill is a prime favorite among our American folkheroes. Children enjoy the fantastic invention, the riproaring extravagance of the yarns about the greatest of all cowboys, for such tale-spinning is a basic part of American humor." "--The New York Times
