Foreword Reviews
“Dramatic illustrations use sharp black lines and gentle shading; in a playful nod to the titular character, olive is the only color.”—Foreword Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Along with giving budding critical skills a workout by inviting comparisons with the original, this inspired take on ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ is sure to plant seeds of thought about how ‘big’ and ‘little’ are relative notions. A heady spin, rich in thought-provoking themes and fee-fi-fo-fun tweaks.”—Kirkus Reviews
