Customer Reviews: A bit disappointingJune 11, 2010 K. Holland(Southampton, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Perhaps this story has been softened too much or perhaps I remember it differently, but the story now seems to be: Jack gets beans which grow into a beanstalk, he climbs it, finds a giant who is grumpy and hungry but otherwise apparently harmless (No eating English men just watch out, here he comes!), steals the giant's things, then when the giant sees and chases him, jack murders him by cutting down the beanstalk! Don't we put people like Jack in prison for that sort of thing! I feel a bit funny about the message this book is giving. I didn't like it.
A fabulous collection!December 7, 2009 Mrs. A. Miller(Glasgow) Classic story, easy to read and understand and not too long or too short. I bought the entire range of first favourite tales for my 2 year old and she loves them. In fact, after reading other books for the last year my husband was also very pleased we'd bought them as he finds them great to read to her too!! My baby son will also benefit from these when he's older so a great choice. Overall a very happy family and at a great price with great service what more could you ask for.
Jack and the BeanstalkJune 4, 2009 Mr. Gilbert D. M. Mccomb(Glasgow, Scotland.) Classic story, large text font, nice artwork (not too clustered) and good choice of words. Reccomended.
Great book, great story, great publication seriesFebruary 4, 2009 R. B(UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My 3 year old daughter loves the `First Favourite Tales' books for bed time stories and for looking through on her own. She'll quite often be overheard shouting "fee fi fo fum.." at her little sister.
Thoroughly recommend them

First Favourite Tales - Fab series for 2 year olds
I bought this entire series to give as birthday and christmas presents, to my 2 year old daughter and to other children. They have been a massive hit. The illustrations are lovely and, like the Snuggle Up series, the way they are written with rhyme and repetition as a central theme make them irresistible to toddlers. My daughter loves these books and wants to read them again and again, and they encourage her to join in too. I really wanted to introduce her to some of the classic fairy stories and this is a great, updated, way of doing so. Highly recommended.
