You may have heard of Jack from his
beanstalk and giant killing days. Now
Jack's back -- fearless as ever in this
Appalachian folktale. Jack sets out to
find a job so he and his Ma don't
starve to death, and what does he
find? Not one job, but three! A
sheriff wants Jack to rid the town of
three "wild varmits" that are
terrorizing the townfolk. But is Jack
up to the challenge? Find out how
Jack's clever antics produce
unexpected results in this fast-paced,
fun tale. Paul Brett Johnson's
adaptation of this story along with
colorful and humorous illustrations
bring to life Jack's wild and
entertaining adventures.
