Product Description From the bestselling author of Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! and the Academyawardwinning creator of Rolie Polie Olie comes the big tall tale about a pintsize hero:Meet Rhode Island Red, an eggsized human who's the greatest hero the smallest state of the Union has ever known. You say you've never heard of him? That's because the Paul Bunyans and Pecos Bills had something Rhode Island Red didn't: biographers.Now Stephen Manes fixes that once and for all with his hilarious tale about a Small Bunyan who proves you don't have to be big to be a hero. Raised in a henhouse by the chickens he calls family, Red speaks their language with only a trace of human accent, he can cockadoodledoo as loud as a thirtyfoot rooster, and he just happens to have the most powerful nose in the history of human existence.High adventure? You bet. Red rescues a scrawny flock of fowl, hornswoggles a crafty pack of foxes, and ventures to the big city with his faithful rooster companion, Big Tomand that's just the beginning. At long last you get to read all about Red's legendary exploitsand the only gradeA jumbo biography of the biggest little hero who ever lived!
