The story itself is pretty random. It reminds me of the stories my husband used to make up for my kids. Johnny lives with an overbearing father. When he father asks him to go to town and sell his pet chicken for some food, Johnny starts on an adventure that includes magic beans, talking animals, and a spoiled rotten prince. The book is illustrated with colored pictures throughout. I wasn't thrilled with the audio recording. It was full cast, but the producers were not 100% consistent with which actors where reading which parts. It was fairly distracting. This book got several starred reviews, but I think it is because of where it came from instead of its actual content. (2017, 151 p.)
