Editorial Reviews

Review

"There'll be a showdown at any library not stocking this title."

Kirkus Reviewss

"A gun-toting, ax-wielding mother and other exaggerative characters accompany the rich Texan parlance that peppers this amusing read-aloud."

School Library Journal

From the Inside Flap

Love her books! This story is a fun and hilarious spin on a well-loved classic. The author even takes the story a step further to a nice conclusion. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and I think the little one did as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Take On A Classic Fairytale

This book is a great take on Jack and the Beanstalk. I love books like these that are a variation on classic tales and this is a good one for Jack and the Beanstalk. Set in the Texas environment, it introduces my 4s & 5s to the things that are indigenous to Texas, like cowboy hats, cowboy boots, cactus, etc. If you're looking for an entertaining book that's both educational and informational that young children will love, then this is the book for you, your child, your classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful retelling of a traditional tale.

This is a wonderful western twist on the Jack and the Beanstalk tale. Waynetta is a spunky heroine who doesn't let a cranky giant keep her from saving the family farm. The text flows easily and just when you think the giant will do his traditional "Fe Fi Fo Fum" chant, the author tweaks it to fit this version of the story. Sure to be enjoyed!

This is a really cute book. It is a new twist on an old story. Most kids know about Jack and the Beanstalk. My kids love Waynetta and the cornstalk. I purchased it used in excellent condition. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.
