A snuggly classic by two best-loved picture book creators: a story of kittens, nature and learning how things grow! On Monday, Jasper plants a bean. He waits all week for it to grow into a beanstalk. He waters it, checks on it and cares for it. But now he’s getting bored. Just how long must Jasper wait before he can start looking for giants?

A heartwarming picture book by the classic author of Kipper

Charming artwork by the creator of Percy the Park Keeper

Helps young children learn how plants and flowers grow

Playfully explores the virtues of patience and discovery

“Stunningly simple… this book will encourage first steps in reading alone.” Practical Parenting

“A charming tale… with a gentle moral of how everything – including giant beanstalks – comes to he who waits.” Junior

Author/Illustrator

Mick Inkpen

Mick Inkpen is one of the most popular author/illustrators in the world. His books have sold over 4 million copies, and have been translated into over twenty different languages. His best-loved characters are probably Kipper and Wibbly Pig – who are both stars of their very own TV series!

He began his career as a graphic designer, and worked with another children’s author Nick Butterworth (of Percy the Park Keeper fame) on a cartoon strip for the Sunday Express. In 1989 The Blue Balloon was published to great acclaim, and established him as an important and original voice in children’s picture books. He and his wife, Debbie, also had children of their own by this point: “Without the experience of having children of my own I doubt that I would have been capable of writing effectively for children. And yet it’s true that good work really springs from trying to please yourself”

Mick lives in Essex with his wife and two children.

He began his career as a graphic designer, declining a place to study English at Cambridge University. During this period he worked with Nick Butterworth, a fellow children’s author, from whom he learned design and typography. Together they developed a cartoon strip for the Sunday Express magazine, later to become a first series of children’s picture books. They also worked in children’s television.

In 1989 The Blue Balloon established him as a truly original voice in children’s picture books, by which time Mick and his wife Debbie had two children of their own. “Without the experience of having children of my own I doubt that I would have been capable of writing effectively for children. And yet it’s true that good work really springs from trying to please yourself”
