Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Ages 5^-8. When a passing heat wave gets snagged on the barn's weather vane, strange things start happening: the mercury blasts out of the porch thermometer like a rocket; a flock of geese flies in one side of the stalled heat wave and emerges from the other plucked, stuffed, and roasted; Ma's flowers pull themselves up by their roots and flee into the shade. And--well, you get the idea; though the story ostensibly takes place in Kansas, it's clearly Tall Tale Country we're visiting, instead. It's finally up to a plucky young farm girl to save the day with an ingenious scheme involving produce (lettuce give credit where credit's due!). Goto's hot-colored pictures are as over-the-top as the eye-popping tale. For further tall-tale fun, don't forget Sid Fleischman's classics about McBroom and his wonderful one-acre farm. Michael Cart

From Kirkus Reviews
Ketteman (Bubba, the Cowboy Prince, p. 1646, etc.) repeats herself in this pack of lies fashioned into a Kansas-style tall tale. Just as Beanie was not up to the job (``too young'') in the author's 1993 tale, The Year of No More Corn, the narrator in this story has been told by her brother that girls can't be farmers. Once again there's a heat wave, once again the corn pops off the stalk. In the other book, chickens laid hard-boiled eggs; in this one the cows jump around on the hot ground so much that their milk turns to butter. That's not the end of the tall tales, which come to a close only after the narrator thinks to plant iceberg lettuce to cool the place down. Goto's eye-popping, thermometer-busting illustrations are perfectly matched to the story's exaggerated dimensions; weird angles and brash colors give the fields and farm a parched look ideal for the antics in the foreground--even though those antics are too familiar.

Again terrific illustrations in a children's book. The colors are dynamic and the silliness will grab your attention on every page. The author takes the impossible (only skips a few steps in each process)to make things happen! The ending is a surprise and could only come from Kansas!
Format:Bibliothekseinband
My four-year-old has requested this for one of his bedtime stories for over one week running. The story itself is a humourous tall tale about a farm in Kansas. The illustrations are hilarious, and the expressions on the characters (including the farm animals) are expressive and funny. A great children's book, but wacky enough to make adults laugh, too.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Helen Ketteman. In fact I look specifically for her books from time to time. But this book.....it was a little too much like her others, or if the other is backwards: perhaps they were too much like this one. I felt like I was reading "Luck with Potatoes" all over again.
