Written by Josh Funk, illustrated by Edwardian Taylor
This is not how the story is suppose to go! While the traditional story of Jack and the Beanstalk is being narrated, Jack doesn’t want to follow along at all. Getting distracted by party invitations, insisting on not climbing the beanstalk, and engaging in rhyme critique with a giant are only a few hilarious hiccups in the narrator’s attempt to tell a lovely fairy-tale. This is a great read aloud for a crowd of kids. They will be rolling on the floor laughing. For reading with a kiddo on your lap, there are so many layers in the adorable illustrations. Read the book, over and over again, and you will see something new every time.
