Jack and the Beanstalk : How a Small Fellow Solved a Big Problem

Here's a new look at an old favorite: Albert Lorenz tackles the problems of scale in Jack and the Beanstalk as never before, using cutaway views, architectural diagrams, and bird's-eye and worm's-eye perspectives to render the tale of a small fellow in a land of giants.

Jack climbs a magic beanstalk and enters a world of mind-boggling proportions, with tabby cats as big as tigers and 10-foot-tall tabletops. Hiding from the hungry giant and his wife is challenging enough. How can even the most resourceful young hero escape with a gargantuan magic hen or a sack of gold coins as big as he is? Children will be intrigued and inspired by Jack's innovative solutions -- as well as by the search for Jack as he hides from the giant!
