Where it came from
Published in 2006 by Lerner Publishing Group as part of their On My Own Folklore series, this edition of Pecos Bill was designed to introduce elementary-aged readers to the hallmarks of American tall tales. Stephen Krensky, an accomplished author of children's literature, distilled the sprawling legend of the cowboy who supposedly invented the lasso and rode a cyclone into a manageable, accessible narrative for new readers.
The book features illustrations by Susan Spellman, whose work in this volume emphasizes the whimsical, larger-than-life nature of the title character. The series was created to bolster reading proficiency through engaging, culturally significant stories, and this specific interpretation was well-received by educational reviewers for its balance of lively prose and illustrative support, helping to keep the folklore tradition relevant for a contemporary audience.
