Jack is making a book about his namesake, Jack and the famous bean-stalk. The only trouble is, our Jack is only human and the book goes through rather a lot before it is completed - the baby throws breakfast at it, Jack closes the pages before the artwork is dry, the mice get at it and then a spider gets trapped between the pages, not to mention the cat walking over it with muddy paws. All these mishaps are faithfully reproduced here in a novelty format which includes, scratch and sniff, fold out, holes and rips to make the reader feel they are experienced the real book that Jack made.

 

There are 32 pages in this book. This book was published 1998 by Random House Children's Publishers UK .
