(2) PS As in other versions of the folktale, Jack gets paid in magic beans. In this modern interpretation, he lives in the city and wears shorts and sandals. Crews uses photographs and Adobe Photoshop to create pictures where a real child seems to climb a real beanstalk. There's an interesting twist ending, and children may be able to envision themselves as brave beanstalk climbers.
