An enormous beanstalk has mysteriously sprouted outside of Jack Blake’s house. Meanwhile, Pinocchio and Half-Chicken have set out on adventures of their own, and Tortoise and Hare are off to the races. This clever book will introduce young readers to the text types found in newspapers. Renowned Latina author Julia Alvarez recreates the legend of the Dominican folk character La Vieja Belén in this delightful bilingual rhyming story, beautifully illustrated by Dominican artist Ruddy Nuñez. Alvarez’s retelling keeps the magic of the traditional account while contributing a down-to- earth, timely moral: “Of all the gifts you can give, your time is the best.” 172 Picture Books 3-5 WWW.LOQUELEO.COM/US PICTURE BOOKS
