Imagine how much fun it would be to be able to grow your own beanstalk right after you have read the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk". Our "Jack and the Beanstalk Story in a Box" is a very unique presentation of the story as well. The book comes with a drawer filled with stand-up story characters and props. So you and your child can read the story and your child can re-enact the story using the thick, cardboard, stand-up characters. The atttached net bag holds a packet of easy-to-grow pole beans, a plastic planting pot and a small bag of pottting soil. Plant the beans on a window sill, keep moist and within a week or two, you will have your very own beanstalk! Life and art combine for a truly unique reading and growing experience. For children 3-5 years old. Story in a Box books have received Teachers' Choice, Teachers' Choice for the Family and Creative Child Awards.
