New ed.
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Tavares. First published in 1908, Nesbit's sprightly retelling makes for a fine read-aloud. All of the familiar elements from the original tale appear, with the addition of a fairy who gives Jack advice. Pencil and watercolor illustrations, varied in perspective and rendered in brown, sepia, and green, are satisfyingly old-fashioned in tone.
