(1) K-3 When she meets Old Mother Greenwood, a girl named Jill learns that the main protagonists of the world's numerous Jack tales are all related. The woman tells Jill several stories about different Jacks, and as she does, the story-loving girl becomes caught up in a Jack tale in the making. The vividly written narrative moves at a swift pace, making it both a natural read-aloud and a perfect read-alone for newly independent readers.
