A poor boy trades his familys cow for a handful of beans, which his mother throws out the window in frustration. The next morning, Jack and his mother find a huge beanstalk in their garden. He decides to climb it. At the summit, he discovers a kingdom filled with enchanted treasures and a fearsome giant!

 • The book can be used to discuss ethics; is it right for Jack to take things from the giant’s house and use the riches to help his village? 
• Especially written for young readers, this book features appropriate vocabulary and an economic, fast-moving style.
• Familiar plot and story structure gives confidence to early readers.
• Research shows that fairy tales are crucial to childrens development. They nurture moral behaviour and show young people the strengths and weaknesses inherent in human nature.
• Fairy tales often tackle difficult issues in an accessible way, thereby preparing children for life in the real world.
• Colourful, humorous illustrations on every page will support and captivate beginning readers.
