What if Jack wasn't the only one to climb the beanstalk? Raymond Briggs brings a new generation to an old tale with humor, math, and imagination.

After discovering a beanstalk growing outside of his window one morning, Jim decides to do what any person in a similar situation would do-he climbs it. At the top he finds the unexpected- a castle and a giant in need of a friend. Children and adults alike will enjoy this fresh take on a classic story.
