Kate and the Beanstalk Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum'un,

I smell the blood of an Englishwoman.

Be she alive or be she dead,

I'll grind her bones to make my bread.

Mary Pope Osborne's funny, magical retelling of the favorite tale and Giselle Potter's enchanting illustrations feature a new and inspiring heroine named Kate for today's audience. Readers will cheer on this resourceful, gutsy girl as she outsmarts the famously greedy giant.

Synopsis:

In this version of the classic tale, a girl climbs to the top of a giant beanstalk, where she uses her quick wits to outsmart a giant and make a fortune for herself and her mother. Full-color illustrations.
