An adorable Texas-twang twist on the classic Jack and the Beanstalk fariy tale. This book may be somewhat lengthy for storytime, but there is never a dull moment. I especially appreciate both the Texas vibe and the use of a female in the role traditionally played by Jack. The illustrations are as lively as the characters, especially the close-up picture of the giant. This book is a solid addition to your children’s collection.
