Taking up where "Jack and the Beanstalk" left off, the felled giant's big brother comes after Jack, but once again Jack's quick mind gets him out of trouble in the nick of time.
Reviews
Kids will revel in the gross pictures and the equally disgusting belching and the giant’s secret weapon, stinky feet. Hillenbrand’s… mixed media, illustrations- tempera, colored pencils, crayon, and oil paint on vellum- create a soft almost marbleized palate of spring greens and changing skies. Great fun. —Kirkus Reviews
Hillenbrand's… mixed media artwork… soars. He captures the rambunctious nature of the author's premise, all the while depicting Jack as a sweet-faced kid with more than a few tricks up his sleeve. The details- Jack's ramshackle home, the rolling mountains and a pair of putrid green giant feet… supply the comedy. —Publishers Weekly
