Jack and the Beanstalk

Do you know the story about Jack and the Beanstalk? We do !

The castle is in the clouds. Where is the giant?

Look at our beanstalks. We hope they grow up to the castle.

Jack climbed up the beanstalk to the giant's castle. Do you think we could climb the beanstalk?

We planted beans to make the beanstalk.

Here is our Jack and the Beanstalk beanstalks.
