Comment: Kelloggs illustrations fill the pages of Jack and the Beanstalk with color, mood,
fine details and imagination. Kelloggs animated characters are very expressive and action seems
to flow with lines and colors on every page. Each corner of every page of this book is filled with
stars, or stairs, or candles, or cats, or Jack poking his head out of an oven. The giant is illustrated
as a monstrous, angry, creature that is out for blood, while Jack is pictured as a handsome, happy
young man who is obviously out for adventure.

Comment: I personally do not like the story because Jack steal things from the Ogre, no once,
but three times. This book is for young reader that might think that if Jack steal things is okay for
them to do it, too. The moral of the story is good, but how Jack accomplished to be rich is not
good.

Comment: Jack a young boy steal things from an angry Ogre and Jack became rich after stealing
a hen that produces golden eggs. Stealing is no good and is not an appropriate book for young
readers.

Comment: Colorful illustration that brings the characterization of a poodle dog that lives a
modern life. Rapunzel watched TV, have manicure, listen to music, and she pampered with
massages. This story is similar to the Rapunzel folktale by this time is a dogs tale.

Comment: Do people want more and more like Rapunzel that no matter how much her mother
tries to please her she got bored and want more and more because no matter how many materials
things she owes, it does not give her happiness.

Comment: The author presents Rapunzel not as the girl who suffered in the original story;
instead he brings humor as Rapunzel is a poodle and a mouse is the evil witch. At the end
Rapunzel escaped from her house and meet her prince, she married and have two children. I like
the book because bring the original story with a different characters and it can be less scary and
violent for young children. A book that is like a singing book because of the beat and rhythm on
the story.
