It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk

My Review of It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack does not want to listen to the narrator of the story because he thinks it is ridiculous to sell his cow for some beans. Beans he can’t even eat! And then the narrator wants him to climb a huge beanstalk when he might fall? And then steal a bunch of stuff from a giant and then climb back down and cut down the beanstalk and hurt the giant?? That doesn’t sound right to Jack! So he makes this story his own!

This book is hilarious. You and your kids will get so much amusement from reading this book together. I used to teach preschool, so I really appreciate well-written books that don’t talk down to kids. Who cares if they don’t get all the humor right away? You will! Re-tellings of timeless classics are not always a hit, but this one is! If you are an elementary teacher, grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, whoever, buy this book!

The illustrations add to the hilarity. If you’re tired of the same old same old, get your kids It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk. Trust me. You’ll thank me.
