Waynetta and the Cornstalk: A Texas Fairy Tale

Ketteman, Helen. Waynetta and the Cornstalk: A Texas Fairy Tale. Albert Whitman: 2007. ISBN: 9780807586877.


Waynetta and the Cornstalk is a book about a little girl and her mother, who lose everything. The little girl has to sell her cow for money, but instead, she traded it for magic beans. The magic beans grow into a huge cornstalk that reaches above the sky. This is a parody of the story Jack and the Beanstalk. The characters and the setting are the only things that are different.


This is a great book that I would recommend for kindergarten and first grade.
