(3) K-3 In this retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk," Stanley gives a gentle giant's perspective on capturing the thief who stole his hen. While searching for robber Jack, the giant, who clips his long, sharp nails and wears a flower wreath, encounters other Jacks of nursery-rhyme fame (Jack Be Nimble, Jack Sprat). Stanley's lighthearted text and detailed art are a good match; readers will enjoy identifying the familiar characters.
