Supertato: Presents Jack and the Beanstalk - Author Sue Hendra

It’s panto season in the supermarket—and The Evil Pea is taking centre stage!

In this festive twist on a classic fairy tale, the veggies are putting on a play of Jack and the Beanstalk… with a hilarious twist: The Evil Pea plays Jack, and Supertato is his long-suffering mum! Expect high drama, veggie mischief, and a not-so-gentle giant with a familiar face.

With bold illustrations, rhyming fun and a healthy dose of chaos, Supertato Presents: Evil Pea and the Beanstalk is a seasonal must-have for fans of laughter-filled stories.

Why we, and schools, love it:

• Connects literacy with drama, ideal for holiday classroom read-alouds
• Introduces children to storytelling structure through parody
• Perfect for exploring emotions like bravery, mischief and teamwork
