I don't really see kids just sitting down to read this book and enjoying it, but I think it has a lot of instructional potential. It reminds me a lot of the insult throwdowns I used to hear. You're so fat, so stupid, etc. The illustrations are really wonderful because I think they lend themselves to that not quite believable and larger-than-life feel of tall tales.

LIES AND OTHER TALL TALES
These tales are so tall they touch the sky! From Caldecott Honor artist Christopher Myers and Zora Neale Hurston.
While traveling in the Gulf States in the 1930s, Zora Neale Hurston collected and recorded some real whoppers told by folks from all walks of life. Not "dog ate my homework" kind of lies, but tales so wild you didn't ever want to hear the truth. And now today's picture–book readers can enjoy these far–fetched fibs, with Caldecott Honor artist Christopher Myers's spirited adaption and bold, expressive collages.
