Manju Gregory / Illus. David Anstey
'Jack couldn't help feeling envious of Jill, he wished he'd climbed a beanstalk instead of a hill...'
Whilst Jack lies in bed recovering from his fall down the hill, Jill sets out to save her family from ruin. When she sells their cow for a handful of magic beans, her adventures into the land of the giant begin, but will the risk pay off or will her family go hungry?
Colourful, lively illustrations accompany this dual-language adaptation of the classic fairytale of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. With the full text in both English and Portuguese, the familiar story will inspire both early readers and older learners who enjoy reading Portuguese and English in parallel.
Enchanting artwork and bilingual text will help introduce young children to a foreign language in a natural and relaxed way.
