‘There are few things as beguiling as a really audacious lie, and the prospect of a collection of them seems almost too good to be true. There are hunting yarns, lies about farming, about insects and animals, about the weather . . . all illustrated to a T." —NYT.

This book is about tall tales and other big lies. Some of the stories are so weird they are funny. And some are not. The book has stories like a man who caught such a big fish that the picture weighed 20 pounds. And some of tall tales you have probably heard before. I liked the book because I like tall tales and funney stories. The stories are pretty short. The longest story is about four pages long. In the book there are about 25 stories. I would recommend this book to K-5 grades who like lies.
