Beanie is called too young for corn planting. Grandpa is call too old. So they're sharing a back step, and a sigh, and...a story. It's a wild one, sure to cheer anybody up, about Indiana in 1928, "the year of no more corn," when the rains came and floated half the people in the state over into Ohio. "A bunch of them still live there to this day." "Is that right, Old Grandpa?" You bet and that's just the beginning of a yarn taller than corn itself, about rain and wind and blazing sun, about fish and chickens and fat, fat crows, and about what happened next. |

Clemmon Hardigree's potatoes are the size of boulders. Also, they MOO! How they
got that way makes for a funny tall tale about mountain luck, mountain farming,
mountain cows (who have short legs in the front and long ones in
the back so they can stand level on a hillside), the U.S. Army Corp of
Engineers, and Tennessee's stingiest timber baron. |

It was the Christmas that almost wasn't. The weather that year was crazy - why, up at the North Pole, it was so hot, Santa's elves weren't in the mood to make toys. So Santa moved his whole workshop to a small town in Indiana, where it was plenty cold. In fact, it was too cold to snow - and, come to find out, Santa's elves needed to see SNOW to be in the mood to make toys. So, the young hero figures out just how to get that snow - and it's a wild tall tale, too. Full of nonsense, fun, and, finally - snow!! This hilarious tall tale will keep young readers giggling - and get even the Scroogiest old codgers in the mood for Christmas!! |

and wide as a steer's horns." With such wonderful ears, Armadillo loved
nothing better than spying on other animals and telling tales about what he
heard. Then Armadillo gets an earful all his very own. |

helps his father on their farm, each time receiving a quarter, which he
saves in a cigar box under his bed. He dreams of one day traveling to the
city to see a baseball game and of buying a baseball glove of his own. But
it seems there's "always too much work and too little money." |
