Description

Jack and the Beanstalk, with a delicious twist! Illustrated by Liz Pichon, creator of the bestselling Tom Gates series.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, I smell ... jelly beans! When Jack sells his cow for jelly beans, his mum is furious. But (of course) these are magic beans and soon Jack is on a big adventure up in the clouds.

Starring a hangry giant, a little white goose and a lifetime's supply of jelly beans!

A deliciously funny tale, perfect for any child familiar with the original fairy story.

Reviews

A fresh and funny twist on a classic fairytale. Will provide laughs for any child familiar with the original. - Guardian Bookshop

Ridiculously funny, with its slightly tongue in cheek telling and bright, appropriately garishly coloured, pictures that are perfectly in keeping with the tenor of the tale and the nature of the beanstalk's origins. - jillrbennett.wordpress.com

Really enjoyed this twist on Jack and the beanstalk, great humour, illustrations and held both my childrens interest aged 6 and 4. Love it! - Amazon Reviewer

Praise for Red Riding Hood and the Sweet Little Wolf:

'Packed full of action, expression and humour, complementing and extending the story.' - The Scotsman
