Okay, be honest, how many of you as soon as you read that got “Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier” stuck in your head?
Now, who has it stuck in their head?
I found about 6 books at our library about him, and this was my favorite. All of the others were more factual, but this one had humor, and Davy Crockett has humor in him I think. And it’s a tall tale. Who doesn’t like a tall tale?
I certainly do, they’re like American mythology. Of course our modern mythology is comic books, but that’s a different subject.
After reading it we grabbed a peg doll, some pipe cleaners and made us our own Davy Crockett doll.
Or that’s what it is in theory. In reality…… The hats never quite fit right, and kept covering their heads. Princess objected she wanted to make a girl, so she made Swamp Angel. Then the boys decided they were making Captain America and proceeded to make pipe cleaner shields and add arms……….
Yeah……… So this did not go as planned. I really want to make some coon skin hats, but it wasn’t going to happen on that day. Concentration was NIL.
