entranced audiences with tales of his many world wide adventures. Sea monsters,
turtle riding, and crocodile wrestling are just some of his many feats.
Everyone started to call him a liar and his popularity fell. There is some
evidence today that perhaps he wasn't lying after all.
This book is a quandary
for me. I didn't like the artwork at all. But this non-fiction story presents
some interesting concepts of truth and lies, maybe exaggeration. I don’t even
know where I would shelve it or how I would use in lesson's. If you have some good ideas for this books place
in your own library –it might be a welcome addition.
