Product Description
Product Description
Jumbeelia, a girl giant, loves the stories of the iggly plop who climbed up the bimblestonk and was chased back down again by a giant. Growing her own bimblestonk, she climbs down it and finds a whole world of iggly plops - our world, in fact, where Colette, Stephen and Poppy are very surprised to find themselves collected up into a bag and carried off back up the beanstalk. So begins a wild and wonderful tale of how three children escape from an overenthusiastic giant girl, her very-pregnant giant mum, and her very nasty adolescent giant brother. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
About the Author
Julia Donaldson’s writing career started when she was a penniless student in Paris, and went busking. Busking led to song-writing, including two musicals and countless songs for children’s television. It was only when one of Julia’s songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", was made into a picture book that she began writing songs without tunes. Her rhyming stories - including THE GRUFFALO and ROOM ON THE BROOM (both published by Macmillan) – have won many prizes and regularly top the UK picture-book bestseller charts. For Egmont, she has written the picture book Night Monkey, Day Monkey, gorgeously illustrated by Lucy Richards.
