McBroom's Wonderful One-Acre Farm: Three Tall Tales

This book is hilarious and a great one to read to kids! You must read it aloud to get the full effect!

My son (8) loves this book. I bought it and just set it on his shelf. A month or two later I suggested he read it and he mentioned that he already had and it was really funny.

This was my favorite story as a kid and was my son's favorite stories. I purchased it to read to my boyfriends children and my grandchildren when they are old enough. It is a fun and wild story and kids love to hear it or read it. Especially when you do different voices with the characters. Its a great book for kids 2nd grade - 5th grade.

My 7 and 9 year old children belly-laughed at many of the antics in this collection of short stories. The stories are just the right length for a mid-day, mid-activity reading break. If your day needs a touch a light-hearted silliness, this may do the trick!

An old childhood favorite. I read it aloud to my 6 and 3 year old and the 6 year old enjoyed it more than the 3 yr old., although she did listen with wide eyes. It's a great way to introduce longer stories and transition out of picture books.

This is not a picture book. This story really needs all the pictures. They are integral to making it so fun. I was disappointed to find out that this is formatted as a "chapter book" with minimal pictures.

I so loved this author and all his tall tales about the McBroom family, when I was an elementary teacher of gifted young readers, that have I remembered and sought them out these thirty-five years later to give them to my grandchildren. I delight in reading them together for all the giggles they evoke!

Read in one setting. Cute for the kids.

A gift

This is a funny book. The writer plays with words and tells very tall tales. I gave this to a teacher. Her 8 year old and up students get a kick out of the stories. A wonderful little book for children and their parents.

The book arrived in a poor condition. Creased all over, especially at the spine. Completely disheartened by the handling. Though the story is a an all time favourite. An underrated classic.
