Reach for this book when you notice your child using their imagination to embellish the truth or when they need a playful nudge to see the fun in creative writing. It is the perfect antidote to dry, literal storytelling, offering a world where logic takes a backseat to the sheer joy of the 'tall tale.' This retelling of the classic Munchausen adventures celebrates a character who meets every obstacle with a wink and an impossible solution. While the Baron is a boaster, the book serves as a wonderful springboard for discussing the difference between a lie and a legend. It is ideally suited for elementary-aged children who are beginning to experiment with humor and hyperbole. By choosing this book, you are encouraging your child to think outside the box and embrace a sense of wonder about the wide, weird world, all while building a sophisticated vocabulary through Mitchell's witty prose.
