''Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind Crockett'' is a 1985 picture book by Creator/StevenKellogg, based on a lesser-known American tall tale heroine.

The day she was born, Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind announced she could outdo any baby in Kentucky, and her exploits just heated up from there. From scaring the skin off a grizzly bear to rescuing the famous Davy Crockett, Sally proves herself as the center of an American legend.
!!This book includes examples of the following tropes:
* ActionMom: Being a mother doesn't get in the way of Sally's ferocity at all. While watching the homestead and her firstborn on her own, she thrashes a huge number of troublesome gators.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Sally and Davy Crockett fell in love with each other within the first few minutes of their acquaintance, and Davy proposed marriage immediately thereafter.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Sally boasted as a newborn that she could outscream any baby in Kentucky and her voice continued being useful as she grew up. When she saw two eagles harassing Davy Crockett, she screamed at them so loudly that she blasted the color off their heads, inventing bald eagles.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings:
** Sally was the youngest of several siblings, all of whom were boys.
** When she and Davy Crockett have their first child, she says they should have twenty more.
* NemeanSkinning: [[ScareTheDog Sally screams back at a bear]] when it growls upon finding her in its den. Startled, the bear rolls away and accidentally "skins" its fur off on the stalagmites, leaving Sally with a nice bearskin coat.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Sally Ann has trouble with gators stealing her pigs while her husband Davy is away serving as a Congressman. Eventually, when they start playing King of the Mountain atop her house, she marches out and gives all of them a good thrashing to teach them to leave her and her family alone.
* RepetitiveName: The heroine's name only repeats itself once, but it's still unusual.
