App Description

Why does Jack trade his cow for a handful of beans? What does the child-eating giant REALLY look like? Explore this classic English Fairy Tale in a whole new way with this Vook, which mixes engaging text with humorous videos.

Storyteller, Tim Ereneta, takes us on an incredibly entertaining journey with Jack, the giant, the golden goose and other memorable characters in "Jack and the Beanstalk".

This Vook features one of the most popular versions of the story by Joseph Jacobs. It was first published in Jacob's collection English Fairy Tales in 1890 and is believed to be the most similar to the original story. Along with this story, you'll enjoy humorous, modern-day video interpretations, and see beautiful original artwork from past publications of "Jack and the Beanstalk".

This application has been designed specifically for the iPad to take advantage of its advanced capabilities and large Multi-Touch screen. The Vook features new functionality that lets you read and watch in full screen with full color video and images, rotate the screen between portrait and landscape view, and email quotes and notes from within the application.

Read and watch this timeless fairy tale in a whole new way today!
