Jack and the Beanstalk, Told by Michael Palin with Music by David A. Stewart

In this comic retelling, young Jack foolishly sells his family’s cow for a handful of magical beans. Overnight, they grow into a beanstalk that reaches up beyond the blue sky itself, leading Jack into a hilarious series of misadventures with a dimwitted ogre and his extra-large spouse. This beloved English folktale is nearly as merry and old as England itself. Ages 5 and up. Illustrated by Edward Sorel. Parents’ Choice Gold Award; Parents’ Magazine-Year’s Best Videos for Kids.
