Thea's Tree by Alison Jackson, illustrated by Janed Pedersen

From chapters.ca:
Thea's science project grows unusually tall in this funny twist on the classic Jack fairy tale. Thea decides to plant some old bean seeds and watch them grow as her science project. And grow they do - into a giant beanstalk. Savvy young readers will recognize elements from the classic Jack fairy tale, such as a harp and golden egg, but the haughty grown- ups that Thea writes to for help do not. Thea receives letters and comical advice from a plethora of dim experts, a ranging from botanist to symphony conductor to zoologist. Thea's Tree playfully combines curriculum areas, including science, language arts, and storytelling into a clever tale kids will love.
