Your favorite daddy-daughter duo take on another favorite fairy tale, this one about the time a wizard turned Andy into a frog!
 
It’s bedtime, so you know what that means—Estella is ready for another totally true story from her dad’s childhood. In tonight’s story, Andy is on a class trip to New York City, where he crosses paths with a wizard.
 
But Andy quickly learns that making fun of a grumpy wizard is not a good idea. Before he can say “RIBBIT!” Andy has been transformed into a frog.
 
With the help of his old pal Wendy, Andy will have to hop his way through the Big Apple to reverse the spell in this delightful early reader graphic novel filled with epic adventure, shenanigans, and belly laughs.

  • Praise for Daddy and the Beanstalk:

    "Elementary-schoolers who can't get enough early reader comics, especially those who like fantasy adventures, will get lots of enjoyment out of Weiner's playful take on a classic story."
    Booklist
  • "Laughs abound in this fractured fairy tale embedded in a bedtime story."
    School Library Journal
  • "Crandall’s bubbly illustrations serve the plot well, shining in sequences where a comparatively tiny Andy navigates the giant child’s home.... A cheerful, slightly snarky riff on a familiar fable."
