John Henry, reviewed by AnneG.

The story of John Henry is a tall tale. He was famous for racing a steam drill. The race was to see who could get to the end of a tunnel by hammering nails. He beat it! This story was very suprising that John was a head taller than his father and that he was so strong. He could hold two 4o pound ( 18 kilogram ) hammers. The lesson in this story is to never doubt yourself. I recommend this book for anyone that likes tall tales.
