Glen Rounds is a noted children's author and illustrator, whose books include tales about Mr. Yowder, and also this: The Morning the Sun Refused to Rise, an original Paul Bunyan Tale. This dust jacket reads: Here at last is the true and complete account of that terrible morning when for the first time in recorded history the sun refused to rise. a blizzard's bitter cold had frozen the Earth's axle tight to its bearings and brought it to a complete stop. It was the greatest catastrophe the world had ever known. but luckily, before irreparable damage had been done, Ol' Paul, the legendary giant and Babe, his Great Blue Ox were called in. How Paul Bunyan found the cause of the disaster and set the world to turning again winds up a hilarious tall tale in the tradition of Mr. Round's classic volume, Ol' Paul, The Mighty Logger. Lots of fun illustrations make this a wonderful read-aloud story.
