I have come to make a bet with you. <br> Can a very little girl beat a very large giant in feats of strength? That's what clever Beatrice bets on when she marches through the north woods to the home of the giant, hoping to win some of his gold to help her mother buy porridge. The giant heartily agrees to a contest, never imagining the wisp of a girl could out-muscle him. But what he hasn't counted on is how clever Beatrice is...and that brains beat brawn every time. <br> This tall tale from Michigan's upper peninsula is told in delicious dialect, and introduces a heroine who's as irrepressible as Eloise.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Booklist" A good choice for story hours.<br><br>"Horn Book, " starred review A winning tale.<br><br>"Kirkus Reviews" Willey has crafted her tale so well that the reader can almost hear it being told by a storyteller around a crackling fire.<br><br>"Publishers Weekly, " starred review Clever indeed.<br><br>"School Library Journal" Empowering.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Heather M.
