PRODUCT SUMMARY
Meet Paul Bunyan, a lumberjack taller than the highest Minnesota pines, who is strong enough to fell ten trees with a single swing of his axe and has the ingenuity to conquer a swarm of beesquitoes. Whether it's straightening a river to clear log jams, overcoming the harshest of winters or innovating a way to feed 1,000 hungry workers, seemingly impossible challenges are no match for Paul's size, strength and quick wit. With faithful Babe the Blue Ox by Paul's side, the pair creates Minnesota's 10,000 lakes, digs the St. Lawrence River and clears America's frontiers for farming. Part of the multivolume Greatest American Tall Tales & Legends DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
