Jill and the Beanstalk by Manju Gregory illustrated by David Anstead



I am a sucker for variations of classic tales! Especially when we see a strong girl who saves the day. This is another book that is available in a number of languages. The illustrations are fun and so is the writing! Check it out!

Suggested Grade Level: K-4

Summary: In this story, Jill has to save her family from an evil giant. Along the way Jill meets a number of characters from common nursery rhymes including Little Bo Peep. 

Connections:  Some of your students may be unfamiliar with nursery rhymes. This book could be used to introduce nursery rhymes. It could also be used to define setting, characters, plot, resolution and other story elements. Do you have any suggestions?
