	Click picture to look inside.

Tall tale is right! Big Annie is a larger-than-life heroine- -a Creole flatboat captain who uses her amazing strength, and the help of some animal friends, to pull a boatload of toys through a terrible storm one Christmas Eve long ago. The companion audio captures the sound of New Orleans jazz, and the rhythm and power of the American work song. Your children will quickly be helping Annie by singing her song, "Heave Ho! Pull the boat Big Annie!" A "big" addition to your holiday library and all year long.

:: Reviews

"Big Annie is about a New Orleans woman who, with the help of her bird and fish friends, pulled a boat of toys to children in time for Christmas. Songs help move story along, and the storyteller's big, powerful voice superbly matches Annie's character."
- Booklist (American Library Assn.)

"My students like The Growing Rock as well as Big Annie. We use the books and tapes in the classroom. I would recommend them to teachers. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and your entire staff for a wonderful job."
- Mrs. C. Otero-Torres, C.E.S. 53, Bronx
