Oh what a fun book this is.  The children laughed and lauged while I read. 

Before I read the story we talked about Tall Tales.  They all immediately thought of their Grandpa.   

I think their favorite part of the book (today) was of the hummingbird and the hair.  They all laughed so hard. 

After reading the story, I asked the children where they thought this story took place.  I was very pleased that they remembered the Palo Verde tree from our rowing of Roxaboxen.  So their first guess was AZ.  I encouraged them that was an excellent guess.  Then they talked more and decided that it was probably Mexico.  They decided this because of all the Spanish.  We placed our story disk in Mexico.
