Book Description:
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
