In this rhythmic, rollicking version of Jack and The Beanstalk, young Jack experiences a series of comical misadventures after he sells his family's cow for a handful of strange-looking beans. The fun begins after eh climbs up a giant beanstalk and meets a scruffy, dim-witted ogre with an appetite for English boys on toast. Edward Sorel's pen-and-ink line drawings with watercolor washes capture the riotous spirit of one of the most beloved of all English folktales.

Edward Sorel has illustrated several cildren's books and received numerous awards for his magazine illustrations. He lives in New York City. ( )
