Jack and the Beanstalk by Steven Kellogg

Jack and the Beanstalk

This is a story about a very curious boy who has no business climbing a mysterious beanstalk, but does it anyways. He quickly learns that he should stay away from places that he is not allowed it. He gets himself into a dangerous situation that he cannot handle- a confrontation with a giant!
