Tall Tales

• Tall tales are stories written from someone’s imagination. The story can be funny or silly. They are filled with exaggerations, similes, metaphors, and descriptive language. It is always told as if it were true, even though the listeners know that the story could never really happen.

Tall Tale Postcards• These postcards were popular in the early

1900’s. See if you can create one or create a story using one of these pictures.
