I read The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstock, Molly Whuppie and The Story of the Three Little Bears.

The story of Jack and the Beanstalk- Is about a little boy whose mother tells him to go sell the cow but he trades the cow for "magical" beans instead. His mother is so mad that she throws the beans out of the window, and sends the little boy to bed. Jack(the little boy) wakes up in the morning and sees a big beanstock, and climbs it. He finds a house at the top, and he enters it and finds a women. The women tell him to leave because her orge of a husband will eat him. Sure enough the husband can smell the boy, but the boy hids good enough and is not found. But the next day, Jack tries to steal some of the Giant's precious things, and the giant chases him down the beanstock, but before the giant can get down the beanstock, Jack chopped the beanstock down.

Who I would recommend this to: Anyone, this tales aren't too bad.

Possible Conflicts/problems: Death, and Violence

My reaction: I really don't dig fairy tales, they drive me crazy. Not a fan.
