What happens when a boy trades his family's only possession—a cow named Milky White—for a handful of magic beans? You may have heard! If the boy's name is Jack, quite a lot happens. Jack's mother becomes furious, those magic beans grow into a beanstalk that reaches all the way to the sky, and he meets, would you believe, a hungry giant!

World renowned painter Gennady Spirin brings a never-before-seen richness and beauty to this classic tale, told for a new generation by Ann Beneduce. Let its magic carry you up to the wondrous world of the beanstalk.
