Jack and the Beanstalk, retold by Carol Ottolenghi, illustrated by Guy Porfirio As long as I have “Jack” still hanging down from the library ceiling, I have to read this story. The children love it. We have so much fun, stomping and acting out being the giant in the book. Five magic beans! Fee, fi, … More Jack and the Beanstalk Returns to the Library!
I suppose as long as I have “Jack” trying to escape the “Giant” in the library, I will have to find another version of this story! But, it never fails to enthrall! So here we are again, just another version! 🙂 This version is retold by Mara Alperin, and illustrated by Mark Chambers. Look at … More JACK AND THE BEANSTALK…AGAIN!
Illustrated by Gabhor Utomo. Yes, another Jack and the Beanstalk story. I still have a “Jack” “climbing down the beanstalk”, and the Giant looking down in the library. The children love it, they want to know everything. So of course I have to read Jack and the Beanstalk….again… but it is a different version than … More FEE, FI, FO, FUM…AGAIN!
I like this version by Anna Milbourne (Usborne books) for preschool, it is a short, simple version with colorful pages. (It is missing the harp in the story). The giant can be scary for some children, which is why I usually ask them to be the giant so they feel a little more in control. … More FEE FI FO FUM! Fun with Jack and the Beanstalk
