Some tall tales start off with a bang and fizzle out on the tall taleness of the story. I like Kellogg's version as it offers kids the challenge of sectioning off the kernels of truth within the story, but focusing on elements that quality it as a tall tale. Events like being pulled off his stagecoach by a giant trout, being raised by coyotes, wrestling out every drop of poison from a rattler then using it a s a lasso, lassoing a tornado, and more keep the kids more engaged than many tall tales out there.
