Jack and the Beanstalk

Narrated by: Blair Mellow

"Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell an exciting story!" When young Jack trades the family cow for a handful of magic beans, his mother is so angry that she tosses them out of the window. The next morning Jack finds they have grown into a vine that reaches all the way up to the sky. Jack climbs the vine up, up, up into a thrilling series of adventures!©2006 PC Treasures, Inc.

If you could sum up Jack and the Beanstalk in three words, what would they be?

absolutely brilliant performance.

What does Blair Mellow bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Excellent dramatization. Fun sound effects, lots of different voices, dramatic music for added effect, without being distracting. My son even loves the little introduction and closing remarks from "the giant". He got so mad at me for skipping through it and going straight to the story!

Any additional comments?

This is a GREAT option for kids who are new to audiobooks. My four year old listens to it at least once a day.
