		The story of Pecos Bill is one of adventure and I just didn't feel like this version of the story captured the really adventure of the legend.
		This mild, but event-filled re-telling of the Pecos Bill story lacks the incorrigible air of tongue-in-cheek humour and bold-faced lies of the typical tall tale.
