Looking for a hilarious book to go along with your Fairy Tale unit? Check out It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk by Josh Funk. The main character, Jack, reluctantly goes along with the narrator’s plan until he finally decides to change the course of the narrative, with a little help from the Giant. I mean, Fred. 🌱.. #teachersofinstagram #teachingliteracy #thatbooklife #jackandthebeanstalk #itsnotjackandthebeanstalk #joshfunk #fairytales #readaloud #picturebook #2ndgrade #3rdgrade #elementaryteacher #reading #fracturedfairytales #funny #narrative

It's been announced!!! Josh Funk and I are teaming up again for our second book together, "It's Not Hansel and Gretel"! It will be released in 2019.  I've got some work ahead of me!

Everyone loves a story with a twist, and young kids in particular get a kick out of narratives where they're "in on the secret", feeling clever and part of something special. In Josh Funk's "Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale" (2016), illustrated by Rodolfo Montalvo, the open secret (at least to the readers) is that the two students writing to each other as part of a class project are, unbeknownst to each other, a boy and ... a dragon! The letters themselves are full of comical misunderstanding. But when their teachers plan a meet-up, will everything go awry?! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #deardragonapenpaltale #deardragon #joshfunk #joshfunkbooks #rodolfomontalvo #vikingpress #dragons #penpals #unlikelyfriends #diversereads #diversechildrensbooks #readingtime #lovebooks #homeschooler #teachersofinsta #schoollibrarian https://www.instagram.com/p/B5llSIXgNd-/?igshid=wkra9gigzl6c

My studio is getting cold but I have a few shots left to animate for 3 Keys. The music and sound design are done and now I'm fine-tuning the shots that bug me. The film should be done by the end of the month. #filmmaking #puppets #animation #stopmotion #3keys #joshfunk (at City of Chico)

I'm about to give my first of five talks to the students at Chico High School today. This should be fun!#animation #stopmotion #filmmaking #puppets #joshfunk #chicoca #artisttalks (at Chico Senior High School)
