Review: Great wat to introduce young children to the classic story - Great wat to introduce young children to the classic story. It followes the classic storyline but it is mellow enough not to frighten the very young. Comes with lovely illustrations. A good length for a toddler. Review: Great - This came quickly and in really good condition. I like the story as it's a much shorter version, he only goes up the beanstalk once, and the giantess is an interesting twist. Lovely illustrations.

Year 1 Children love it
I have been teaching Jack and the Beanstalk and this book is fantastic. Great for pulling out language and letting the children join in. They have now heard the story 10 times and are still not bored. Highly recommend

I bought all of the fairy tale books by Mara Alperin for my 3 year old after looking at the picture previews. What I love about this one is firstly the illustrations (very important to me) they're so detailed, beautiful, and spread out over each double page. There is double page of the beanstalk swirling downwards and Jack sliding down it which my little boy loves! Secondly the "Fee fi fo fum" famous motto of the Giant hasn't been changed - again, important to me. The story is short and certain details have been changed but it is the perfect length for 2-4 year olds to introduce them to fairy tales. Then later they can be introduced to the longer, more detailed story.

A twist in the tale
Beautiful, modern and fun approach to a classic story. Ideal if you find it hard to justify Jack's robbery in the old fairy tale versions...

My five year old enjoyed the story and the picture
My son is obsessed with Jack and the beanstalk he's 5 years old and every day we talk about climbing to this imaginary land where the giant is there and we have fun think of all these different stories and when I bought him this book he was so excited to add another Jack and the beanstalk booked his collection and he reads it all the time the pictures are awesome
