John Henry (Picture Puffins)
Preview: Hear it

John Henry is stronger than ten men, and can dig through a mountain faster than a steam drill. Julius Lesters folksy retelling of a popular AfricanAmerican folk ballad has warmth, tall tale humor, and boundless energy. Jerry Pinkney illustrates the story with rich colors borrowed from the rocks and the earth, so beautiful that they summon their own share of smiles and tears (Booklist).
