What is Revolting Rhymes: Jack and the Beanstalk about?
Jack’s mother is furious when he swaps their cow for a handful of beans. But overnight, the beans grow into a towering beanstalk reaching high above the clouds. At the top, Jack finds a giant, a castle and golden leaves that could change everything. When Jack returns empty-handed, his mother decides to climb the beanstalk herself. Roald Dahl’s wickedly funny rhyming retelling turns this familiar fairy tale into a daring, darkly comic adventure with a surprising twist.
