Description
This is retelling of JACQUES THE WOODCUTTER, in which a husband and wife have lessons to learn.
Quick Summary
A woodcutter and his wife discover that even the most hard-headed people can change their ways when a magical musical basket enters their lives, turning their stubborn arguments into a sweet duet of understanding. Kids will giggle at the humorous back-and-forth between the bickering couple and cheer when they finally see the world through each other's eyes. If your kid likes "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" by Jon Scieszka, they'll love this playful folk tale with a similar tongue-in-cheek twist. Perfect for kids in grades 1-3 who are ready for short chapter books with big hearts and lighthearted humor.
