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.
Review:
"Kate (instead of Jack) trades her family's cow for magic beans and climbs the beanstalk to find a kingdom in the clouds. PW's starred review said it 'puts a fresh face on an old favorite.' All ages." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:
"The dizzying perspectives seen from the beanstalk are exaggerated by text that becomes bigger and bolder with Kate's ascent and descent....One of the most lasting and popular of all fairytales, this retelling will make a popular addition to all collections." School Library Journal
Review:
"Fee, fi, fo — fun!" Booklist
