Hilarious Spoof of Jack and the Beanstalk!

If you want to get young boys to read sometimes it takes hilarious books like this one! Extremely clever and great illustrations make this a winner. Ranks up there with The Boy Who Ate Around, Parts, and Math Curse. Jack's character is a nose and the beanstalk is played my the magic mustache. Super creative. Great to encourage imaginative stories. A+

Old Story With A New Twist

This book is hilarious. It takes the classic tale of Jack and the Beanstalk and twists it around. The play on words throughout the book are easy enough for kids to understand and funny enough to have even adults chuckling. The illustrations are great too. Definite two thumbs up.
