Waynetta and the Cornstalk: A Texas Fairy Tale

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-8687-7 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Greenseid. This Texas "Jack and the Beanstalk" has cowgirl Waynetta climbing a cornstalk to find a ranch in the sky owned by a nasty giant cowboy. Waynetta retrieves her family's treasures, including a longhorn that produces golden cowpats, and tames the giant. The country expressions add regional flavor (though they get a bit tiresome). The boldly colored illustrations are appropriately larger than life.
