 Cow for beans December 23, 2005

This is another book, parents should get for their children's bookshelves. A classic tale about a lazy boy named Jack, who trade a cow for magic beans instead of money. The magic beans grew into a very high beanstalk that reaches the clouds. Curious Jack climbed up the stalk where he met a fairy telling him how the orge was the one who killed his father and took all of their fortune. Jack went to steal back the golden ehh laying hen, the bags of gold and the magic harp in three visits and ended up killing the giant by cutting fown the tree. In ways, this book actually is a story of revenge of Jack towards the ogre.
 Not for young preschool readers in my opinion May 26, 2004

I was very anxious to get this story because my 3 yr daughter saw a segment about Jack and the Beanstalk on a Barney video and loved the story....I have bought other books in this series and loved them so I naturally went for this version as well. But I am disappointed - It isn't the story so much that bothers me....it is the illustrations in the book....dark, too adult....no whimsy or colors....very very green and very dreary and even scary for a 3 year old....After reading one time the book to my daughter, the next time I took it out she said "No, not that book....its ugly".... my daughter is a book nut you loves to be read ...and she isn't a child who needs colors to love a book - she loves "The Giving Tree" for example....But this book just has very drak, and gloomy drawings....to be honest before even reading it to her, I thought it was kinda ugly too....ugly atleast for a children's book....I think the other stories in the series are great but pass on this one for the under 4 age crowd....more for the llustrations then anything else....

The story was about a young boy named jack. He was a poor boy who lived with his mother. One day they had no food to eat. So jack took the cow to town. A man stopped him and said I have some magic beans that I will trade you for your cow. So Jack said ok. When he got home his mom was mad at him. They didn't eat that night. The nexed morning jack seen a giant beanstalk. He claimed it as fast as he could. He seen a giant and a hen and a magic harp jack grabed it and ran. The lesson it teach is don't steel. The age level is 4-7. I liked the book.
