Paul Bunyan vs. Hals Halson: The Giant Lumberjack Challenge!

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-6367-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by C. B. Canga. Hals Halson, bent on proving himself as the greatest lumberjack, strides into camp. Lonely Paul Bunyan would rather start a friendship than a competition, but he's forced to best Hals before the latter will bury the hatchet. The story, aptly hyperbolic, is a little weak on plot. Digital-looking cartoon illustrations using woodlike textures and sharp angles reflect the characters' shared skills.
