This is without doubt one of the loveliest retellings of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Both the text and illustrations complement each other quite brilliantly and as usual Barefoot have designed the pages in a quirky, innovative and inspirational way.
It really is a little boy’s dream book and as with many of Barefoot’s books it comes with an unabridged CD of the text.
Climb the beanstalk with Jack in this quirky take on the traditional tale. When there's no food in the cupboard, Jack goes to market to sell Daisy the cow. But rather than money, Jack procures magic beans...and the promise of adventure! This new paperback edition includes online access to the audiobook performed by British actor Richard Hope
