Book Reviews of John Henry (Picture Puffins)
Book Review: John Henry
Summary: 4 Stars
When you look at the cover of this book it looks so serious. The illustrations are so beautiful it's a shock really to read the text and find it so funny. Of course on closer examination the pictures are reflective of the tall tale. This is a great book for the 7-8 year-old crowd.
This book was an ALA Notable Book in 1994, and a Caldecott Honor book in 1995.
