LFL find. Cute enough. If you like McBroom's tall tales, or other humor akin, you might get a kick out of it. Btw, compared to other McBroom books, this is one relatively longer story, with a whole arc. But I only like this sort of silliness in very small doses, so I can't rate.

This is a book I've had since I was a kid, and I have a soft spot for the tall tales Josh McBroom spins about his amazing one-acre farm and the things he can grow there -- popcorn, jumping beans, and tomatoes, this time -- all in under an hour. This go-round he also has to deal with a shady neighbor who covets his farm and tries to trick him into losing ownership.

Funny and silly. ( )
