Fallen Over Book Reviews

We received this book to give an honest review.

I love the story of John Henry it is something that I remember reading when I was young child. K has seen a show or something on him at school which I found to be neat. So when this book was for review I wanted K to hear the folklore of ol' John Henry. I think this book is book did an amazing telling of John Henry from the time he was born to the work he did and to the way he died. As we all know John Henry could do anything and predicted his death or so it was told. You see John Henry was A Natural Man. K really liked learning a bit of John Henry and was excited to read about the hammers he could swing while working on the railroad.

I highly recommend this book to either be in school libraries or even in the classrooms, kids from ages 8 on up would enjoy this book. Now the story is not divided into chapters and it is a good almost 30 minute read which for us was great to read at bedtime. The pictures were amazing and went very well with the story being told on each page.
