A wonderful re-telling of a classic children's tale from author of The Snowman, Raymond Briggs.

Early one morning, Jim woke up and saw a massive plant growing outside his window. And he began to climb.

In this re-telling of the classic children's story by bestselling author, Raymond Briggs, a little boy called Jim finds a beanstalk outside his window. Like Jack, he decides to climb it - and at the top, he finds a huge castle and a rather grumpy giant.

But this giant isn't at all what Jim expected.

This read-aloud or read-alone story is packed with engaging illustrations and simple text, ideal for younger readers, and told with Raymond Briggs' classic humour.

This funny and yet heartwarming story showcases the importance of friendship, problem-solving, and above all - kindness.

Reviews for Jim and the Beanstalk

It's that beanstalk again, sighs the giant, sharing his breakfast of beef and beer with just-arrived Jim: he's no match for his father who fee-fi-fo-fumed at Jack, and no more than a relic of his former self. He can't read. . . Jim prescribes glasses; can't chew? false teeth; bald? a wig. And when he's a new man - 'You'd better go now and chop that beanstalk down before I crunch you up.' This is the sort of revival that will delight some people and repel others - except for the spectacle of Jim carrying the giant glasses, false teeth and wig through the streets it's no great shakes either way.
