An engaging tale about a creole boat captain and how she gets toys to the children in time for Christmas Day. Excellent jazzy music accompanies the narration.
Tall tale is right! Big Annie is a larger-than-life heroine - a Creole flatboat captain who uses her amazing strength, and the help of some animal friends, to pull a boatload of toys through a terrible storm one Christmas Eve long ago. The soundtrack captures the sound of New Orleans jazz, and the rhythm and power of the American work song. Your children will quickly be helping Annie by singing her song, "Heave Ho! Pull the boat Big Annie!" A "big" addition to your holiday library and all year long.
