About this book
This very first fairy tale tells the story of Jack and his beanstalk in four simple spreads - with the child's help! On each page, and on the cover, there is a sliding counter that you can move up and down, making key moments in the story happen. Can you help Jack take the cow to market? Can you help Jack climb the beanstalk? There is a similar prompt question by each slider, so that you know when to take part in the whole experience.
The bold, bright illustrations make this a colourful book to engage with, and there are things to spot on every page. The interactive elements are fun, and get the child (or adult!) to practise fine motor skills. Plus there is a QR code on the page, where you can hear the story read aloud.
Overall, this chunky board book provides lots of fun. Perfect for little hands.
