Jack and the Beanstalk

by Steven Kellogg

Jack and the Beanstalk Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Generations of children have loved the tale of lazy Jack and his poor mother, their cow, Milky-White, the five magic beans, the hen that lays golden eggs, and the fearful ogre who roars "Fee-fi-fo-fum!" Now Steven Kellogg brings this irresistible story to life with all the zest and energy that are his trademarks. As he did with tall tales such as "Paul Bunyan", Kellogg creates an unforgettable world that readers will want to return to again and again. Full-color illustrations.

Synopsis:

Join young Jack as he climbs a giant beanstalk to a magic castle in the clouds. Meet a hen that lays golden eggs and a harp that sings by itself. And don't forget the ogre. A classic fairy tale with a vigorous look that will leave you chanting "Fee-fi-fo-fum!"

About the Author

Steven Kellogg is the illustrator of over eighty picture books for children, including his own retellings of Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, which School Library Journal declared "one of Kellogg's best books," and Pecos Bill, which Booklist called "a read-aloud treat for the family or classroom." Mr. Kellogg is also the author of Chicken Little, which Booklist said was "one of Kellogg's best efforts to datea winner every child will like," and Aster Aardvark's Alphabet Adventures, which Kirkus said was "an ingenious alliterative tour-de-farce, perfect accompaniment to the author's zany illustrations. Just try keeping a straight face as you read this aloud."

Steven Kellogg lives in Sandy Hook, Connecticut.
