Manju Gregory / Illus. David Anstey
Colourful, lively illustrations accompany this Russian and English dual-language story, an inspired reworking of an old favourite tale of Jack and the Beanstalk.
'Jack couldn't help feeling envious of Jill, he wished he'd climbed a beanstalk instead of a hill...'
Whilst Jack lies in bed recovering from his fall down the hill, Jill sets out to save her family from ruin. When she sells their cow for a handful of magic beans, her adventures into the land of the giant begin, but will the risk pay off or will her family go hungry?
