Crews, Nina. Jack and the Beanstalk, 32 pgs. Henry Holt and Co., 2011. $16.99. Inside cover: “A modern retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk! Jack receives beans from his neighbor and –lo and behold- those beans lead him up a beanstalk and into the company of giants. How will he ever get back home?” We simply didn’t like this book. After reading it, we looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders. We didn’t find humor in the modern phrasing and didn‘t enjoy the real photos verses illustrated versions. Sorry, it just wasn’t for us? Pre-K. EL (K-3). NOT RECOMMENDED. Reviewer: SL.
