A fresh and funny twist on a classic fairytale. Will provide laughs for any child familiar with the original. - Guardian Bookshop Ridiculously funny, with its slightly tongue in cheek telling and bright, appropriately garishly coloured, pictures that are perfectly in keeping with the tenor of the tale and the nature of the beanstalk's origins. - jillrbennett.wordpress.com Really enjoyed this twist on Jack and the beanstalk, great humour, illustrations and held both my childrens interest aged 6 and 4. Love it! - Amazon Reviewer Praise for Red Riding Hood and the Sweet Little Wolf: 'Packed full of action, expression and humour, complementing and extending the story.' - The Scotsman
