(4) K-3 Classic Fairy Tale Collection series. Illustrated by Robert Mackenzie. "Fee Fi Fo Fum, / I smell a visitor, yum yum yum, / Fish or fowl, cold or hot, / We’ll cook him up inside my pot." This enervated retelling doesn't distinguish itself from the dozens of other available editions. The illustrations are generally unremarkable, though the giant does look appropriately fearsome. The reteller's note provides antecedents.
