JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
Richard Walker, illustrated by Niamh Sharkey, read by Richard Hope
One day, when they have no food left, Jack's mum sends him to market to sell the cow. On the way, Jack bumps into a funny little man wearing a big, baggy jacket with big, baggy pockets. In the pockets lie six bewitched beans, but the funny little man has lost the instructions for them. Jack's adventure begins when he swaps his cow for six magic beans that grow to the land of the clouds.
