There’s tension in the Folktale Forest! Two friends clash over blueprints for Midge the Pidge’s new birdhouse. As their issues begin to spiral out of control, they learn the legend of Pecos Bill – the rootinest-tootinest, roughest, toughest cowboy who tamed a tumultuous tornado and created the Grand Canyon. Yippee-ki-yay! The tall tale ultimately calms their chaos and carves a path towards a cordial compromise. PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the classic tall tale, “Pecos Bill and the Tornado.” In the story, two friends are working on a project and tensions build when they disagree. When both are unwilling to bend, their problem begins to spiral out of control into a much bigger issue. The larger-than-life tall tale teaches them the value of partnership, communication and meeting each other halfway.
