A seed to stalk, a dream, and a little mischief along the way.  Most of us can retell the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.  Heck, it was even the inspiration for the original design of this website.  Let’s enjoy the story and then play this early literacy Jack and the Beanstalk Game.  It’s one of oodles of book activities you’ll find on Growing Book by Book.

Jack comes home with a bag of magic beans much to his mother’s dismay.  Well, those beans grow into the largest beanstalk you have ever seen.  So, Jack climbs that stalk and encounters a castle, a giant, and a golden foul.   And, when Jack returns, life is looking up.  Read Jack and the Beanstalk (or order on Bookshop) and then build early literacy skills with the activity game below.
