Review by Booklist Review
Ages 5^-9. With clever, extravagantly detailed pictures and an effervescent text, this splendid retelling of the life of the legendary American woodsman deserves its place as one of children's favorites.

Review by Kirkus Book Review
Paul Bunyan à la Steven Kellogg is a boisterous melee of corny cartoon imagery--but given the dubious origins of these tall tales, that's not something to he purist about. True, Kellogg slides over into present-day burlesque--the ""kitchen helpers"" who grease Paul's giant flapjack griddle are kid hockey-players wielding mops and brooms--and the tales' exaggeration tends to get lost in the general uproar. But as a condensed version of the giant woodsman's life--frenetic from his oversize birth onward--this would probably amuse youngsters with its pictorial prodigies until they're ready to hear the stories that are heaped together here.
