Praise for Jack and the Beanstalk

"...the dramatic and immediate images and the realistic setting make this an intriguing new “Jack” for storytimes as well as a fresh offering for fairy-tale units.” --BCCB
 
"Images of a huge beanstalk superimposed on a brick apartment building; stylized blackbirds flying around the giant’s castle; small Jack on hands and knees with large brush in hand amidst a pile of huge dirty dishes are …memorable…” --SLJ
