Audiobook narrator [a:J. Scott Bennett|14696707|J. Scott Bennett|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1450598591p2/14696707.jpg] rating: 5 stars
This was a really fun short story about Davy Crockett as he transforms from Congressman back to frontiersman. While it is a tall tale, there is likely some truth to the history being that Crocket was a congressman and eventually left congress due to his disagreement of the Indian Removal Act.
I like how these folk heroes have become legendary and eventually have grown to larger-than-life type stories (tall tales). It makes for a good read and can teach some morals and lessons along the way.
This tale is the perfect length and I agree with the age limits of 6 to 106. I am going to see what my eight-year-old son thinks about it. Though, I feel like l may need to give him a little history on Davy Crockett first. I like how the end of the recording has an author’s note and mentions some Davy Crockett movies like King of the Wild Frontier. I wish my library or Amazon Prime would have some of these movies so I can show them to my son!
I really enjoyed the narration of this book. He did a great job of changing his voice for different characters, including the bear!
I hope this author write more Davy Crockett stories (or similar tall tales of past folk heroes)!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
