What happened after Jack stole the Giant's gold, the goose that lays the golden eggs, and the singing harp? What happened after the Giant fell to his death and Jack made it to safety? Wouldn't you know that the Giant had a brother- a bigger and meaner brother- who began to make a rope ladder the minute that Jack chopped down the bean stalk. Well, Jack and his mother hightailed it to the mountains of North Carolina where they set up shop and lived a peaceful life growing the most beautiful smelling roses around. But that mean old giant finds Jack and demands to have the gold, the goose, and the harp returned- or else. Jack is clever and quick, but is he quick enough to outsmart yet another giant?
This book is absolutely wonderful! The illustrations are entertaining and the insight into Jack's life is fun and witty. Introduce your kids to a new side of Jack and the beanstalk!
