Jasper's Beanstalk

A snuggly classic by two best-loved picture book creators: a story of kittens, nature and learning how things grow! On Monday, Jasper plants a bean. He waits all week for it to grow into a beanstalk. He waters it, checks on it and cares for it. But now he’s getting bored. Just how long must Jasper wait before he can start looking for giants?

  • A heartwarming picture book by the classic author of Kipper
  • Charming artwork by the creator of Percy the Park Keeper
  • Helps young children learn how plants and flowers grow
  • Playfully explores the virtues of patience and discovery

“Stunningly simple… this book will encourage first steps in reading alone.” Practical Parenting

“A charming tale… with a gentle moral of how everything – including giant beanstalks – comes to he who waits.” Junior
