Hi. I love your unit. My students are having a great time learning about tall tales. I wanted to let you know that there are some errors on the Paul Bunyan story. The last name is spelled wrong on the title page of the mini book and there is a sentence that says the ox was named Blue not Babe. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you so much for sharing the corrections. They have been made AND I would love to send you a free product for helping me out. Michele
