Jack of Beanstalk fame, lately moved to North Carolina, hatches a plan to preserve his gold-egg-laying goose and other loot from the vengeance of the giant's older brother. Plenty of tall-tale humor and some Southern home cooking ensure that Jack once again makes a clean getaway. Perfect for story time, this fast-moving trickster tale features witty mixed-media art.
