Miss Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind of Davy Crockett fame meets and wrestles with Fireeyes the panther in this upbeat tall tale. The epic woman-versus-panther brawl gives way to a "great and glorious" friendship. Wonderful language ("swaggerous stretch"; "thunderferous racket") and dynamic, folksy acrylic paintings framed with birch branches combine to make this a fine choice for storytime.
