The traditional story of Jack and the Beanstalk takes many twists in this fun version! Our main character Jack works with his mother in their lunch truck, but when business goes down Jack risks them losing everything by using the little money they have left to buy a can of magical baked beans. Predictably, the next morning a large beanstalk is
waiting to be climbed, only this magical vine is growing cans of baked beans! When Jack reaches the top of this unusual beanstalk he meets a lonely giant who just wants company and someone to cook for!
I loved this humorous retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk! In addition to be full of funny twists, it had a satisfying and entertaining ending as well as great illustrations. I can't wait to use this version when I do my Jack and the Beanstalk unit with my 2nd graders later this year.
