About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel bored by the everyday world and needs a reminder that imagination can transform even the dustiest job into a grand adventure. This charming collection of tall tales introduces Gib Morgan, a real-life historical figure whose life was polished into legend. It is perfect for children who are beginning to transition into longer stories but still crave the whimsical logic of folk heroes like Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill. Through Gib's global travels and impossible drilling feats, the story explores themes of creative problem-solving and the joy of a well-told story. It is an excellent choice for a 6 to 10-year-old who loves machines, building, and the idea of exploring the farthest corners of the earth. By reading about Gib's 'extraordinary' inventions and mishaps, children learn that humor and a big imagination are just as important as hard work.
