Jack and the Beanstalk Worksheets

by Steven Kellogg

Lexile AD660L · ATOS 4.1

When their cow Milky-white stops giving milk, Jack sets off to sell the cow at market, but he swaps it for some beans that a funny-looking old man says are magical. His mother throws the beans out the window, and by morning a beanstalk has grown right up to the sky. At the top Jack finds a great big tall house where an ogre keeps bags of gold, a hen that lays golden eggs and a golden harp that sings. Steven Kellogg's richly illustrated retelling of the classic English fairy tale.
