Jack and the Beanstalk (My First Fairy Tales) Paperback – 3 Feb. 2014

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.

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.

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

Lovely version of the story with great illustrations. I read it to my group of 3 and 4 year old s and they loved it.

Has an early years professional I loved the story and colourful pictures. This was well received by my 3 year olds

Grandson loved this. We went to a panto about this too.

Daughter loves this book. I however am bored of it now after reading a thousand times in a few days! ;)In all seriousness. A great short of the family bedtime classic!

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.
