Bigger and Better by Kaye Umansky

A laugh-out-loud fractured fairytale version of Jack and the Beanstalk, reminiscent of Pratchett in its celebration of humanity in a fantastical world. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+ Vi the Giantess loves little things – her thimble collection is almost out of control. So when a little chap called Jack pops up in her kitchen, her giant heart melts right away. But this Jack is a regular Jack-the-lad, intent on carrying off Vi's husband's treasures and keeping them for himself. Can Vi fight off her instincts and challenge the interloper? (With extra song lyrics). Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+
