Jack and the Beanstalk

Michael Rosen (winner of the 2026 International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) Hans Christian Andersen Award) brings to life a wonderfully humourous and poetic retelling of a classic tale. The impoverished Jack trades his cow for magical beans that sprout into a towering beanstalk. As he ascends the formidable vine, he discovers a castle inhabited by a menacing giant. In the chase that ensues, Jack manages to secure enough wealth to sustain himself, his mother and his village.
