Books with title Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and his marvelous beanstalk made their first appearance in England in 1734—and for nearly three centuries the tale has continued to enchant children. After all, what could be more reassuring to a small child than the idea that even a little boy can outwit a scary giant? John Cech retells this popular story with humor and warmth, adding plenty of entertaining details and bringing in some less familiar elements, too. (For example, when Jack escapes for the last time, the giant’s wife comes along with him, and becomes his mother’s good friend.) And Robert Mackenzie’s art captures all the magic of the huge beanstalk and the giant’s oversized world up in the clouds.

When Jack swaps his cow for some magic beans, they lead him to a place he could never have imagined. Find out who he meets at the top of the beanstalk. Share a wonderful reading experience with your child. This beautiful storybook includes a traditional fairy tale for an adult to read aloud, alongside short, simple sentences for your child to read to you.
