How to Catch Little Boys and Eat Them by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Katie Matthews
How to Catch Little Boys and Eat Them by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a very unique retelling of Jack and The Beanstalk and the author has written this one from the Giants perspective. She has tried to bring a modern twist to the story by using modern thing like televisions and the use of media – in this case television adverts. In all honesty this isn’t my favourite of her stories that I’ve read but it would have some great follow up activities for children – they could make their own adverts for tv like the giant and jack did in this story.
The illustrations were good – bright and colourful and the story is short so it would definitely hold a child’s attention.
