Amazon.co.uk Teacher Review
Jasper's Beanstalk introduces readers to the character of Jasper who is determined to grow a beanstalk. He plants the bean and tends to it carefully each day. Finally, he gets fed up of waiting for it to grow and digs up the bean and throws it away. Readers will probably guess what happens at the end.

Jasper's Beanstalk is a picture book that will be thoroughly enjoyed by young readers. This is a simple text that is very well laid out. The clear illustrations will allow early readers to use picture cues to help them read the text. The story takes place over the course of a week, so this book would be good to use to consolidate the days of the week. An excellent book to read children are growing plants as part of their Science curriculum at school. There is also a nice link with Jack and the Beanstalk at the end of the story.

This book would be enjoyed by children aged 4-6. --Amanda York

Stunningly simple... this book will encourage first steps in reading alone.

(Practical Parenting )

A charming tale, with extra-large type, that touches on the topic of the cycles of nature and how things grow, with a gentle moral of how everything - including giant beanstalks - come to he who waits

Customer Reviews

Brilliant children's book with amazing illustrations
Jasper is a loveable cat and you really feel for him when he struggles with his beanstalk. The illustrations are wonderful. A delightful book for children.

A favourite
My 3 year old brought this book home from Nursery when they were learning about plants earlier this year. We loved it so much that I bought it for her sister's birthday.

My 3 youngest children aged 2-5 all really enjoy the book as do myself and my husband. The story goes through the week as Jasper tries to grow a beanstalk.

So good that I read it to my Year 1 class (age 6) when we grew plants ourselves.

One of the best books I have ever bought (and we have hundreds).

Simply brilliant
My son has loved this book for well over a year. He's now 2 and it still a firm favourite. It helps teach them about different days of the week.

I love reading it to him too.
