Book Reviews of Jack and the Beanstalk
Book Review: Good story and graphics
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was a great version of the story with great graphics. I used to tell this story from memory to my 2 yr old daughter and it's all she wanted to hear about, so I thought I'd look for a book. This story was pretty much the same one, had more details than what I remembered, but good details. For those interested (since it's not real clear), here is a summary of how this specific book tells the story:
-Jack and his mom (who is out of work) are poor and decide to sell their cow
-Jack goes to sell it but is met by a man on the way who trades the cow for magic beans
-Jack's mom gets angry and throws the beans out the window, resulting in a beanstalk
-Jack climbs the beanstalk to find a castle
-The female giant agrees to let Jack work for some money, but warns him that her husband will want to eat him if he gets caught
-Jack steals some gold coins from the male giant while he is sleeping (which the giant stole from Jack's village in the first place)
-Jack goes back up a second time and steals the goose that lays the golden eggs
-Jack goes up a third time to steal the singing harp, against his mother's request, which ends up waking up the giant, who chases jack down the beanstalk
-Jack and his mom chop down the beanstalk, destroying the giant
