Daddy and the Beanstalk

by Andrew Weiner (Author) Bethany Crandall (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly, this charming and hilarious take on classic fairy tales tackles the family chaos of bedtime.

Did you know that Jack was looking for hot dogs when he climbed up the beanstalk? Or that he was led there by a talking fox named Wendy? Ok, maybe that's not how the real story goes, but when Estella's dad, Andrew, tells her bedtime stories, she's always in for a bit of twist!

A hilarious modern retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, Daddy and the Beanstalk is a recipe for fun and adventure--with a hint of magic.
