First edition of Jack And The Giant, A Story Full of Beans, by Jim Harris, follows in the tradition of great American tall tale of Jack and The Beanstalk, but with a fun, quirky Southwestern twist.
Written and illustrated by Jim Harris. 1997, first edition. Rising Moon, an imprint of Northland Publishing.
Harris's books have been popular with kids for years, especially kids who live in the Southwest, or whose grandparents do. In addition to this Southwestern rendition of Jack and The Beanstalk, Harris wrote The Three Little Javelinas and The Tortoise and The Jackrabbit.
From the jacket:
"Jack lives in the Arizona desert with his ma, Annie Okey-Dokey. A thievin' giant has stolen all the cattle off their ranch, the Bar None, and they're so poor they have to sell the only thing left worth selling: an old milk cow named Fred. Jack trades Fred for some magic beans, and a giant beanstalk grows outside his window. ow's his chance to capture Wild Bill hiccup, the giant cattle rustler, ugly enough to peel the paint off a picket fence. That is, if the giant's breath doesn't get Jack first."
