Things are always bigger in the Lone Star State, and this tale is no exception. In a humorous retelling of a classic story, a tall Texan is annoyed by a flea and goes to great lengths to get rid of it. The drama builds with repetitive choruses crafted for the Western audience by Texas author Susan Holt Kralovansky and accompanied by hilarious images from talented Texas illustrator Deborah Ousley Kadair.
Starting with a toad, followed by a snake, and getting progressively larger with each bite, the beleaguered (and not so very bright) tall Texan tries to get rid of his problem but just keeps getting larger. As his belly grows, so will the laughs when children read along with this delightful tale. Whoo-ee! All because of a silly flea!
