I received an ARC of this book for my honest opinion.
Estella loves when her dad tells her stories but she wants them to be real… with a talking fox. This was such a fun book. I loved that Dad is telling the story of himself as Jack, that he is a silly boy, makes mistakes (parents make mistakes as kids, too!), his sister has to save him, and that the giants and kids come to an understanding. A great first book with nice little nuggets of parenting thrown in.

A delightful way to introduce some valuable lessons with a little mischief and some retelling of a famous fairy tale. A dad tells his daughter a bedtime story that is supposed to be something true that happened to him as a kid. Using the story he educates her and us on great lessons such as it is ok to make mistakes because we learn from them, telling the truth, being considerate, not being a bully, and knowing how to apologize... It has a great ending and the kids will know what is the right thing to do.
The last pages have some knock-knock illustrated jokes that make it whimsical. Also, this book encourages kids to read.
Perfect for young readers with clean and vibrant artwork, the characters have amazing face expressions worth exploring and it's quite relatable. I love that she has no concept of time and asks her father if they had cars when he was young and she thinks he is much older now so he must be 14. Love the humor.
It would be great to have a series of these.
Thank you, Publisher and Netgalley for this E-Arc.
