This book has some of the worst looking, sloppily beaded flowers I have ever seen. Several of the patterns don't have any resemblance whatsoever to the actual flowers being referenced. The whole book seems geared to the level of a 10 year old. That being said, there were some really good (actual size) diagrams for leaves and flower parts. Except for the fact that the classic French technique was totally co-opted and dumbed down, it managed to hold my attention for quite a while.

What is particularly good about this chapter book is the introductory information explaining what a tall tale is and how it may or may not be based on the life of an actual person. In this case there is a good chance that a man named John Henry actually did work for the railroad as a free black man.
