Revolting Rhymes: Jack and the Beanstalk

The third picture book in a brand new series adaptation of Roald Dahl's iconic Revolting Rhymes, featuring the original text and now fully illustrated with brand-new and wickedly funny art. Jack was nimble, Jack was keen. He scrambled up the mighty bean. This is Jack and the Beanstalk as you've never known it before in this darkly comic twist on a classic fairy tale. Jack's mother is furious that Jack has traded their cow for a single bean - until she realises the bean has sprouted into a ginormous beanstalk with golden leaves! But when Jack discovers there's a hungry giant with a keen sense of smell at the top of the beanstalk and comes home empty handed, his mother takes matters into her own hands . . . With brand-new and wickedly funny illustrations alongside Roald Dahl's original rhyming text, this picture book is perfect for those who like their fairy tales with a splash of daring and danger! This picture book edition of Jack and the Beanstalk is a version of the original text by Roald Dahl first published in Revolting Rhymes in 1982, and as such the content reflects the attitudes and culture of the time.
