Jill and Jack and the Beanstalk is a retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. Twice upon a time, many, many years ago, there was a woman who had a daughter named Jill and a son named Jack. Mother said, "We have no money, and our cow called Chocolate Milk is not giving any more chocolate milk. Jill and Jack, you must take her to town and sell the cow so that we can buy food."

The cupboards are bare, so Jack's mom sends him to market to sell Daisy the cow. On the way, Jack bumps into a funny little man who offers him six bewitched beans - but the man has lost the instructions for them. Jack loves nothing better than magic and adventure, so he swaps Daisy for the beans and sets off home. And this is just the beginning of his story.
