A classic tale of courage that reminds us to follow our dreams in the latest in the Story in a Box(tm) series--an innovative reading and learning concept that packages a board book with a set of stand-up characters and props from the story. The figures are contained in a drawer attached to the back of the book. The sturdy cardboard cut-outs of Jack, the Giant, the Beanstalk, Jack's Mother, the Man with the Beans, the Cow and the Goose that Lays Golden Eggs are the essential story elements with which a child could retell the story or use to make up an entirely new story. The story is simply told by Anabelle James, who has written two other books in this series, and illustrated by Michele L. Ackerman. The stand-up characters spark imagination and encourage creativity and story-telling skills. This new interactive reading concept is also appealing to a child who is a restless reader. Intended for three to six year olds, Jack and the Beanstalk Story in a Box has a suggested retail price of $8.99. Free counter display with twelve books.
