Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0140566228, Paperback)The stunning 1995 Caldecott Honor BookJohn Henry is stronger than ten men, and can dig through a mountain faster than a steam drill. Julius Lester's folksy retelling of a popular African-American folk ballad has warmth, tall tale humor, and boundless energy. Jerry Pinkney illustrates the story with "rich colors borrowed from the rocks and the earth, so beautiful that they summon their own share of smiles and tears" (Booklist). "A tall tale and heroic myth, a celebration of the human spirit....The story is told with rhythm and wit, humor and exaggeration, and with a heart-catching immediacy that connects the human and the natural world." --Booklist, starred review * A Caldecott Honor Book * Winner of the Society of Illustrators' Gold Medal * An ALA Notable Book * An NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies * Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award * The Horn Book Fanfare List * A Parents Magazine Best Children's Book of the Year * A BCCB Blue Ribbon Book * Winner of the Aesop Prize * A Picture Puffin * Full-color illustrations * 40 pages * Ages 4 up (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
