(3) K-3 Illustrated by Aljoscha Blau. This traditional retelling, based on Joseph Jacobs's version, is given new life through the dark humor and bizarre whimsy of the neon-colored mixed-media illustrations. Children will enjoy poring over the odd details: the bean peddler rides a motorized wheelchair; the giantess wears a mask; two imps live with the giants.
