What is Jasper's beanstalk about?

Jasper has found a bean, and he is certain it will grow into a marvellous beanstalk. He plants it carefully, waters it and waits. But Monday passes, then Tuesday, Wednesday and the rest of the week, and still nothing happens. Jasper tries everything he can think of to help his bean grow. At last, a tiny shoot appears, and soon a great beanstalk reaches up into the sky. But will Jasper find the giants he is hoping for?
