Legendary Tales: Nine stories of adventurers from America’s past, including Daniel Boone, Paul Bunyan, and Calamity Jane. Fairy Tales and Fables: Children will enjoy hearing their favorite fairy tales retold in short verse and will learn more about their favorite stories (why the cow jumped over the moon and why there were four and 20 blackbirds in a pie).

Songs: Twelve old-time favorites that continue to delight such as "Buffalo Gals," "Keep on the Sunny Side," and "Home of the Range." Grandfather Wisdoms: A bird had is worth two in the bush. A clean conscience makes a soft pillow. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Cleanliness is next to godliness.

We bought this book for my dad for Father's Day this year, and thought he would have fun reading it since he has four granddaughters. He loved it and has even selected stories to read to the girls during over-nights with Grandpa and Grandma. I highly recommend it as a great gift.
